Installed Win7 and ext. monitor stopped working

Hello,

I already posted something about this to other topic so you can just ignore that.

So, I have an external monitor (Benq G series), which worked just fine on my Win XP. This morning I installed Win 7 on my computer and it stopped working. It says No signal and it cannot be detected no matter what I try.

So could it be the drivers or something? I used to have some ATI graphic card, don't remember which one, but now it says I have:

Standard VGA graphics adapter
ATI ATOMBIOS
8 bit

Graphic memory usable 16 MB

So this has changed? What can I do to get back what I had before and will this help fixing the monitor problem?


Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Ok problem solved! If anyone else has the same problem follow the link: Standard VGA Drivers??

You need to install your ATI drivers first to use your ext monitor
HP has not updated their graphics driver for your laptop
Use vista driver instead: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...tem=ob-54378-1
