Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

i have a nec multisynch lcd 1525m monitor from my last
computer that was running 98 fine. when i got a dell with
xp the resolution is low and i can not move the
resolution bar higher. i do not have the driver disc that
came with the monitor (3 years ago).

Just a note. It may not be the monitor that is causing your problem. I
would look at installing new video card drivers as that is generally
what prevents you from changing the resolution. Most drivers grab the
information from the monitor's EDID which contains all of the
information on supported resolutions and refresh rates. Windows usually
does not need drivers for the monitor and will work fine as a Generic
Monitor or Plug and Play Monitor.
