Windows 7 - Samsung Monitor Driver

**g0tit** · 07-25-2009

Hey , I own a Samsun SyncMaster 913v, and I am missing its driver for Windows 7 but , when I check the website for download, it's only available for Windows XP, does it means I won't be able to find a suitable driver for it?
Will I have to wait?

You could try running the installer in xp compat mode, see if there is a vista driver floating around out there.

Let us know if this doesnt help

gotit no problem. we are all newbies at one time. go get the correct driver and dl it. Right-click the setup/install file and go to properties. in properties look for the compatibility tab and check the run in compatibility mode (choose xp)

Extract the self extracting zip. Then install manually through device manager.

It says it cannot open driver, and and to check the driver CD, but I don't have it, well I suppose that's it , I'm done with Windows 7 . I'm gonna try one last build because I heard build 7100 creates a lot of trouble with drivers wich version you suggest I download zigzag?

Monitors Don't need Drivers your not gonna get anything by installing OEM drivers
