Re: XP won't install monitor driver
There is no installation program for an .inf file. You just point the
monitor to the file and the pertinent information is extracted to the
operating system.
Go to device manager | monitor | properties | driver | update driver.
Don't allow the system to search for the driver. Direct the system to the
appropriate .inf file using the browser.
