| 21913 | 2001-10-19 04:43:00 | How do I get rid of a 'Plug and Play Monitor' message everytime I start up. I recently rebuilt my PC with Windows SE. Overall things went well except for the P & P finding the monitor. To me, at a fairly basic knowledge level, my monitor was already going fine but anyway I followed instructions and eventually installed a new driver. I now had 480*640 and could not adjust my resolution. I reinstalled and ignored the 'Plug and Play monitor' message and everything works fine. My monitor is an HP Ultra VGA but shows now as 'Unknown device' However as I am happy with it how do I stop the P & P message |

From Control Panel go to: display-settings-advanced-monitor-change-next-display a list of all the drivers... Your HP monitor should be listed, if not, check that you have the correct driver for your monitor and re-install. Windows should detect it as an HP and not just a generic plug and play. What the driver also does is to define the resolution and refresh rates for the monitor. |
