I have been researching the Hanns·G HZ201HPB 20" monitor, and found that it only has drivers for Vista and Win7. Are there any drivers available that can be downloaded so that this monitor will work with WinXP (Service Pack 3)?

Thank you,

Scott

Question: I just purchased one of your monitors and the drivers are only for Windows Vista. Will the monitor work with Windows XP and do I need additional drivers?
Answer: There are no drivers needed for Windows XP, and in most cases Vista as well, the default monitor driver will work fine.You may need to update your video card drivers if you are unable to use the recommended resolution. Please contact your PC or video card manufacturer for assistance with this procedure if needed.

I was reading customer reviews on Newegg, and a few people mentioned that this monitor was only compatible with Vista or Win7 (32-bit or 64-bit). That seemed strange since the WinXP user base has to still be pretty big. I'm restoring an old car, and it would really help to have a computer in the garage to reference various manuals and restoration guides in pdf format, pictures of the car before disassembly (to see how things go back together!), my research notes, etc. I have an older (circa 2004) Dell Dimension 8300 WinXP machine that I could bring out of storage and put back into service, so I was looking for an inexpensive 18" to 20" monitor that would be compatible.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply,

Scott
