Default can't find monitor driver - hp pavilion mx70


Several months back I reinstalled Windows (from XP to XP Pro) and
evidently wiped out a driver for my HP Pavilion mx70 monitor. I've
looked high and low... google, copernic agent, drivers.com, etc.,
and can't find a replacement driver to get the monitor working
right.

The display is okay, but without the driver I can't set the res to
anything but 640 x 480 pixels.

Any suggestions, or better yet e-mailing me a copy of the driver in
question, to tsr58 AT yahoo.com, would be much appreciated.

Monitors don't have drivers, graphic-cards do. Windows has a set of
monitor profiles for most common monitors. If you cant find your monitor
listed then look for a similar one or a generic profile which suits the
monitor, e.g. max res and refresh rates.

Are you sure you got your graphics-card drivers installed?

Find out what video card you have and install the drivers. Check the
maker's webpage for you PC

Agree about the video driver but look for the monitor driver here:
