LG Montitor (Re Their Forte Manager Prog.)

Hello,

Not sure if this is the best, or correct, Forum for Monitor questions ?
If not, please let me know.

Have a new LG Monitor. Model is W 2061 TQ

Anyone know if the LG Forte Manager, their (LG's) software program they have that supposedly lets you control the monitor functions from the PC directly works with Windows 7 ? (or, with my particular model, or not ?)

Having trouble getting it going. Not sure if the problem is with the programs W7 compatibility, or with my particular model, or...?

Their site isn't all that clear on if it does or not, and my questions to them have not been answered. Their phone rep didn't know.

Thanks,
Bob

When you connect a monitor to a PC they specifically say to connect it to the PC and turn it on before you power up the PC - did you do that - if not do it that way and see if it fixes your problem - the software from the LG site should work.

Go to the below site your W7 Drivers and manuals are there :
LG Product Support for W2061TQ-PF

Not sure about the specific software - just try it if your in doubt and setup a restore point firstly.

To install a driver OR program in compatibility mode - right click the setup.exe file - click properties - click compatibility - check run in compatibility with vista/xp etc - check run as administrator - leave the rest blank. Start setup.exe and install - This gets it to install if its written for another OS.

To run a program in compatibility mode right click the shortcut to the program and do as above then start the program.

There is a new version there also v3.08 :
Note: 'forteManager 3.xx' is not compatible with 'forteManager 2.xx'. If you have used forteManager versions lower than 2.80, you need to update with the latest forteManager 2.80.

Hello,

Much thanks for all the information.

Appreciate it very much,
Bob
