I can't seem to find this driver anywhere. My picture resolution makes everything huge and I can't change it. I know this is an old monitor, but there should be a driver out there that will help. Thanks!!

That is an old monitor, driver dates from 2002.

It states it's for Windows 2000 or XP. There are no Vista drivers for it.

I would recommend that you unzip the executable with either WinRAR or WinZIP or 7Zip. It will make a folder with the "INF" driver files in there.

Point your monitor "Update Driver" to that folder and it may work.

However with that old of a monitor, Windows 7 may just prefer to recognize it as a "Plug and Play" monitor instead.

When I download this it says the files already exist. I do get an error at the end that says an error occured while unzipping. 1 or more files were not succesfully unzipped..

Is the executable a file in the driver folder? Sorry for my ignorance.
