From: JoJo on 24 Feb 2010 14:51 Folks: Recently I bought a new Acer B203W flat screen monitor. It came with the usual CD containing drivers, etc. With my Windows 2000 platform, I can set the screen pixel level to (1280 x 1024). No need to install any drivers for the monitor. However, with Windows XP, if I try to use the (1280 x 1024) pixel level, the screen goes blank for a while then it switches back to the (1024 x 768) setting.. * Why is this the case ? * Should I install drivers that came with the monitor on the XP platform ? * How to do this installation ? Thanks, JoJo.

If it doesn't autorun, open it in Explorer and run the setup or install file that's on it. -- SC Tom
From: Anteaus on 25 Feb 2010 11:01 Likely the refresh rate is too high. Most flat screens will take 75Hz but not higher. In fact the refresh rate makes no odds with an LCD. 60Hz is OK. Try changing this (under Advanced) before changing the resolution. "JoJo" wrote: > Folks: > > Recently I bought a new Acer B203W flat screen monitor.

Go to the manufacturer's website and see if they have an updated driver
