| 143637 | 2003-05-14 10:12:00 | I tried previously to update the driver, but Windows reports that I am using the best driver already. You do not get an option to choose from a list of drivers from within WinME for the monitor. I have also tried looking for an appropriate driver to download with no success (my Likom monitor is also known as Viewmate). I have also had a good look in the BIOS settings and all the PnP settings look correct. Cheers Jen |

From memory, PnP might have been the problem . Perhaps you DONT want the PC to detect it has another monitor when it sees the KVM . Disable PnP and force the driver? I think I forced a driver on it, by using the "I will specify the location . . . " or whatever ME uses . I know it wouldn't keep the monitor I told it to use when I set it up, but I did get around it quickly and easily . |

| 143639 | 2003-05-14 10:57:00 | Hi godfather I cannot force another driver on it as I don't have one to use instead. I have just tried another couple of things. Firstly, I went back into BIOS and set PnP OS installed to NO, rebooted and removed both monitors from the device manager and then rebooted again - but two monitors were again detected by Windows. I then noticed under the GeForce2 properties there was an option to automatically detect Plug and Plug monitors so I removed that tick. Deleted both monitors again and rebooted, but (sigh) they are both back again as default. In the BIOS under Pnp/PCI Configurations there was another option called "Resources Controlled by:" which is set to AUTO (ESCD). This is the blurb that went with it: BIOS can automatically configure all the boot and plug and play compatible devices. If you choose AUTO you cannot select IRQ and DMA and memory based address fields, since BIOS automatically assigns them. I got the very strong feeling I shouldn't touch this setting :D. Jen |
