Changing the Monitor Type in the Display settings.

[insipid1991]

Most of our computers show a Monitor Type of "Plug and Play Monitor" in the Monitor tab of Display settings. We want that field not to read "Plug and Play Monitor" but rather to accurately the the type of monitor local to that desktop (i.e. Dell 1901FP, Dell P992, etc.)

Is there any way to change what is shown in the Monitor tab in Display properties under Monitor Type?

Thanks!

if you download the driver for you monitor, then update the driver (using the have disk selection) It should show the name of the monitor.

You should be able to find on the Dell site the necessary .ICF files.

Thanks. I found the drivers on Dell's site, but I had to do some deep searching for them. They don't make it intuitive when it comes to searching for them

Thanks again.
