There we go - that looks better. Nice system there.

Thanks dude. And really? I kinda get the impression it's old - and looking at other folks specs on here they seem about ready to take over the world hahaha!

I noticed 2 things out of that long list. It shows a build of 7600 and not 7601. Which indicated SP-1 is not installed. Also the PNP driver not found.

I couldn't sleep so I'm back for a bit. SP-1 is installed as far as I'm aware - it shows up in my update history. As for the PNP, is that the monitor? Updating the driver through device manager showed there's no better driver available and that it's working well. It was my only option as I cannot find for the life of me the driver for the AOC N20W. It's not on AOC's website and I even called them asking for the driver for THEIR monitor - and they couldn't help! What's with that?

I wouldn't worry about PNP now. I shouldn't of mentioned it. Your monitor is working. Just not like you want it to. Let you keyboard do the walking.
Hit the Windows Flag Key and the Pause Key. If you have SP-1 it will tell you there. Most of SP-1 is concerning security but their are parts that help your system work better and smoother. My words, (fix little bugs).

Yep - there's definitely SP-1. I was late installing it.

Sy, I noticed in the screenshots you posted its showing the monitor as a Toshiba? Which baffled me a little.

Also how do you have the monitor connected, is it by VGA cable or DVI?

Yeah I was baffled with that too! A Toshiba Matsusishu or something. The monitor is connected by a VGA cable that slots into a DVI adaptor on the rear of the PC.
