228691 2004-04-11 21:39:00 I have formated a computer hard drive and installed w98se.
On start it comes up with new hardware detected and an add new hardware wizard appears, with search for drivers for Plug and Play Monitor.
But gloom and despair its a 17 inch Macrocom computer monitor and they went bust in 2001.
There were no disks with any monitor drivers supplied with computer that I can find.
The monitor is made by A Plus Info Corp in Nationalist China and model is AS1770. I searched on google and the link for them is dead.
Driver com does not list them as a manufacturer.
Do I have to throw this monitor away and buy another one?
Seems a waste as it was going fine.
Is there some way a generic type driver would work?
Any help appreciated.

228692 2004-04-11 21:49:00 Just use the Plug and Play monitor driver... it has a refresh rate of 85Hz but that's better than nothing... just don't drive the resolution and refresh rate too high :) wintertide (1306)

Usually you don't need a specific driver for your monitor, which will be why you never received drivers with it. The PnP monitor Windows offers should work fine, else you could just try anything listed under "General" (I think that's the heading) that lists a decent resolution.

228694 2004-04-11 22:10:00 Or try here.

Username = drivers
Password = all

I know it doesn't list the same brand, but the model number is the same, and its a possibility. Shouldn't hurt to try it - Windows usually will tell you if its not the right driver.

228695 2004-04-11 22:14:00 Thanks Mike and Wintertide it now starts without asking for driver.
Apreciate your help.
