    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
