Solved Driver for Monitor

[mjwilson94]

Hi there my monitor currenty displays "Generic PnP Display" but I have checked in Hardware ID and it says MONITOR\CMO1526 but the thing is I can't seem to find a driver for this display and is causing some problems for me.
If anybody could link me to a driver for this monitor it would be much appreciated and earn REP, thanks in advance.

Hi mjwilson94.
As you can see below, Acer doesn't offer any monitor driver to your model. What kind of problems? Could be clearer? "Generic PnP Display" just describes that Windows can not determine the model and manufacturer. There is nothing to worry about.
Hope that helps.

Well while playing games on my PC I have been encountering severe flickering which means I can't really see anything on my screen I was just wondering if this could be part of the problem?

Unfortunately none of them worked, none of the packages contained my hardware drivers

What games are you playing when fickering happens?
VGA driver is updated? Latest one > VGA Driver (M74 M76 M92 M96)

Well im trying to install Call Of Duty 1 (original one) for my brother, installs smoothly but as soon as I click the .exe flickering starts on the COD menu and onwards from there.

I would wager to say that this would be a problem with graphics and nothing to do with your monitor or monitor driver. Windows sets up monitors with its own basic driver that should work fine. You could also test this by trying other monitors. I would definitely make sure old graphics drivers are removed and the newest driver installed

Update DirectX.

Could you link me to the newest ATI Radeon X1200 driver please?
I shall also update my Direct X to see if this helps
