SYMPTOMS
After you connect a ViewSonic P817 monitor, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me) does not detect it properly when it searches for new hardware; instead, it identifies the monitor simply as a Plug and Play monitor.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior and ensure the correct monitor selection, select the driver manually. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Right-click the desktop, and then click Display.
 * 2) Click the Settings tab, and then click the Advanced button.
 * 3) Click the Monitor tab, and then click the Change button.
 * 4) Select Specify the location of the driver (advanced), and then click Next.
 * 5) Either click Removable Media (Floppy, CD-ROM) and insert the ViewSonic compact disc, or click Specify a location and type the path of your Windows\Inf folder, for example C:\Windows\Inf.
 * 6) Click ViewSonic P817, and then click Finish.
