I have a Compaq Presario preloaded with Win95b and also have IE.&OE 5.5. I
had some problems and had to reinstall Windows. I then transferred all
thedata from WinOld to WinNew.

Whilst everything works well, the Device manager shows the Monitor as Plug
and Play and NOT as Presario V410. Why is it? If I try to reinstall it after
Removing it, I lose ALL the networking connections including the USB
Ethernet Adapter and drivers etc. Otherwise the system works well!
Should I do something?
Thanking you

You need to download the .inf for your monitor from the Compaq web
site and install it. Then delete the monitor entry from Device
Manager, reboot the computer, and direct the "found new hardware"
wizard to the downloaded .inf file when it detects the monitor.

Good luck
