I have ordered a PC (Dell Studio XPS 8100, 8GB Ram, Nvidia GeForce 240, Intel Core i5 750) and would like to use my existing BenQ FP93E S monitor with it as I am very happy with this monitor. Apparently the BenQ is compatible with Vista but I cannot find out whether it is compatible with Windows 7. I intend connecting via DVI-D.

I know my monitor is not under the Windows 7 compatibility list. But it's under the Vista list. Is their any possible way to make this work or am i just out of luck?
What is Best Non-MS Network Monitor for Windows 7?
OK... before half of you suggest Perfomance Monitor in Administrative Tools, I'm looking for something easier to use and preferably something that can measure both wired and 802.11x speeds and throughputs.
been reading about Windows 7 monitor calibration for color matching at microsoft site and how to do it. don't have Windows 7 yet tho. is this monitor calibration effective? colors on monitor and printed materials match pretty well say compared to 3rd party calibration tools?
I'm not sure where to put this post, so I'm putting it here. I have a dual monitor setup, an HP LP2275w as my primary monitor and a Viewsonic P95F+ CRT as my secondary monitor that I switch on from time to time. My problem is that when windows starts, it always goes to the secondary CRT monitor, even if it's off.
I have them set up correctly in the display settings where my LCD is the the main monitor, 1, and the CRT is 2. I also have this set correctly in the nvidia control panel, but I get the same problem every time windows starts.
Now Im using an old monitor LG 700s, and for some weird reason I cannot change the resolution to 1152x864 on 75 hz...I just get 60 hz (lot of screen flicker) option and nothing else, updated to the latest win 7 nvidia drivers released today...updated the monitor drivers as well, but Im not getting that refresh rate.
The funny thing is the monitor does support 1152x864 75 hz according to the monitor specs and I have it tunning on that resolution on both Win XP sp3 and Windpws Vista SP1 both 32 bit....
What am I doing wrong.....or is it just an issue with the drivers since its a new OS and its gonna take a lot of time for nvidia to fix...if it is an issue on their part?
I'm looking for new scanner (25+ ppm) that will work w/7. Scantastik store claims nobody (fujitsu, canon, xerox, etc.) will work yet - drivers not available until year end. Does anyone know anything differently? I was able to get my HP officejet 7000 printer to work.
my brother wants to know if HPNA or HomePNA will work with windows 7 before he switches over, does anyone know? I've tried googling a bit and can't find out. I know HPNA is supposed to be outdated and all, but we still prefer it.
I know absolutely nothing about computers so this may be a stupid question, but anyway. I have a 64-bit computer system, but was shipped a 32-bit Windows 7. Can I use this with my computer?
I was a succesful tester of Windows 7 RC, where the realtek audio drivers worked flawlessly. Recently i purchased and installed windows RTM Home Premium.
If you have the following symptoms when reinstalling windows 7 RTM with the realtek audio:
- No Realtek icon in the taskbar
- Cannot active the realtek driver window from control panel.
- The windows audio playing devices do not show up when requested...
well:
For some reason, the realtek driver or Windows 7 RTM are not compatible anymore with RTM got released.
The problem is not with the driver, however, but with User Accounts Management security settings.
Install the latest driver from Realtek, which you find on the www.realtek.com. The version of the driver currently is 235.
Then, disable UAC through Control Panel -> System -> Change User Account Management, and reboot.
You'll notice now that the Realtek driver taskbar icon (the brown luidspeaker) shows up in your taskbar. Good news.
Click on the taskbar icon, and the RT driver windows shows up. In this window, you can change the driver operating from Stereo to 5.1.
Clearly, some things are wrong with audio in RTM. Because you cannot open the audio play devices dialog through the windows luidspeaker icon and right clicking the option from the menu.
Ok, so I have that problem with the Creative cards where it doesn't play nice with my Nvidia chipset and Win 7 64. Horrible sound when it works at all, clicks and pops and crackles. But most of the time it doesn't work at all.
The sound card in question is the X-fi Platinum I believe, and my mobo is an Asus A8N Deluxe.
I have been totally unable to find any information on decent sound cards that WILL work given my equipment. I would like to find something that provides rich sound similar to the X-fi Platinum. It was great while it lasted. Now I can't even get the crappy onboard sound to work!
I recently bought an HP laptop, and I received a windows 7 upgrade kit. I was wondering if I could use the code on the COA that was included to install on my dell computer?
Did a clean install upgrade from XP and installed office 2003. I used a utility called backrex to save and reinstall my office settings. Everything works fine except my message rules do not work. I get an error message similar to unable to move from inbox. I deleted all of my rules and was only able to recreate the ones going through the specified account to a folder.
All other rules attempted produced the rule but the underlined portion that you click and fill out were not underlined so it is impossible to do the rules other than through the specified account.
After finishing each rule I attempted to run the rule in the inbox to sort the emails and that failed and I received the error message unable to move from inbox. I have 47 email accounts for my businesses and for my sanity must use rules. Has anyone else encountered this problem and does anyone know of a solution?
when I made a boot defragmentation of C:/, after 5 minutes my monitor showed up "no video imput" and got in stand-by. This was frustating: I had to wait until the system started to beep, and reboot... And second, I wanted to find some settings in the BIOS to fix this problem, I started to search, and after 3 or 4 minutes... the same thing: "no video imput", and a black screen... How can I get my monitor to work in vga mode also? Or is something else here? Some infos: I have a HP XW-4400 Workstation, it comes with pre-installed XP, but for two years I upgrade it to Windows 7 Pro. I installed all the drivers for Windows 7 from the HP site, because on my recovery CD are only the drivers for XP. Some of the Windows 7 drivers failed to install... but all that I could install, I installed. I tried to find a driver for the "on-board vga intel video driver", but nothing to find on the HP site... I already searched everywhere on the Windows 7, and I put all the settings for monitor and video to sleep "never", but with no change when it comes to boot operations. It is very risky to not see what is going on when you defragment on boot, or when you are in the BIOS settings...
I am not sure if this is in the correct section of the forums, so apologies if it isnt! I have a GTX 660ti. When plugged into my 1080p television, it works perfectly. However, when I plug in my 17" dell flatpanel, it says "not supported" across the screen. Is my GPU too advanced for me to use a small monitor? I have tried changing my resolution much lower, then turning the pc off, then plugging in the 17", still not supported. Is there something I have to do in bios?
Got a PC with Nvidia GeForce 6150 graphics card with no overclocking. Sometimes the monitor loses signal and does not work. Sometimes it works just fine. I've tried different VGA cable and different monitor, situation didn't change. I've got 4 different connectors.
- 1 VGA and DVI on Nvidia - 1 VGA and DVI built in into motherboard.
Sometimes, when the Nvidia doesn't work, I connect to built-in card and monitor starts working. Next time when it's out, I connect back to Nvidia. There have been situations when only one of the four connectors is working. This means that on one graphics card there may be only one connector which is functioning. I don't get this. Problem isn't in the display nor the cable. It also doesn't seem to be in the graphics card as the built-in connectors aren't fully functional neither.
I have an HP proBook 4440s and a external HP S2031 monitor. I can get the extended monitor feature to work outside of the VPN. Once I go into the VPN the only thing I can do is move the entire VPN to either screen. I can't share anything within the VPN such as word, excel, or outlook. how I can move items within the VPN from screen to screen?
I have a pc running windows 7 pro 64 bit, I received a update from windows and when the computer rebooted my monitor and key board will not work. I don't know what to do now, I can't even get it to boot in safe mode.
I have a virus and trying to get my laptop to work in safe mode, to fix it. But my Laptop monitor is broken so I use an external monitor but now I can't get that to work.
I was rebuilding my computer bit by bit after my old one died on me. I recently purchased a motherboard/cpu and I used an old harddrive with windows xp on it and my old video card from my previous pc.Everything worked fine, all usb ports were up and running, monitor worked great. Than I went to install Windows 7 on my computer from a usb thumb-drive. Everything went smoothly until I got the the first restart. When the computer turned on again, all fans were turning, hard drive was spinning, and led lights turned on but my monitor went black saying no connection, and none of my usb ports work (no lights on my keyboard or mouse).
I have an Acer Aspire 5741-5979 using a graphics card of Intel (R) graphics. This is a new issue I have had recently. I used to connect an external monitor to my laptop, and it worked fine. The issue is that the laptop still detects the external monitor but the external monitor does not receive a signal when I plug it in the VGA (blue trapezoid connector) have played around with the display options an exhausting amount of times and nothing works there. I tried what worked before (extending the display) and trying to clone it. I thought it might be a driver issue and I reinstalled the driver, but this didn't seem to help either. I have used many monitors when it worked, and also tried different monitors after it stopped working to no avail
I have a Lenovo u400 laptop and im trying to connect my external samsung syncmaster bx2335 to it through an hdmi/dvi adapter.When it first boots up, the monitor works displaying the lenovo logo but when it gets past the windows logo and onto the log in screen, it switches back to the laptop and the monitor wont respond anymore.I have uninstalled the video drivers and that make the monitor work when windows was on, but once i tried to reinstall the drivers the problem came back.
