Hey I got a lead, now that you've found the number go to the acer site and choose you location and you can get all the drivers there

 

[FuturDreamz]

Let me guess, It's a desktop, and it's not the latest?
About $400?

still looking, but this is what i found

yep thats the one

oh and its an acer monitor x193w 19'

 

[caxhatq]

Hmm, went on acer and found the drivers but it says that this system doesn't support windows 7? That's a problem here...

 

[FuturDreamz]

according to Wal-mart:
Graphics Processor / Vendor: SiS Mirage 3 shared video memory (UMA)

(only if above doesn'yt work)
Rightclick on the driver and select "troubleshoot compatibility."
once it''s done thinking select "troubleshoot program", then check 'this program worked in earlier versions" select "vista", then start. if same error retry with "XP sp3"

I think what he meant was that on the Acer site, it says that W7 is not supported. Vista drivers normally work however.

 

[FuturDreamz]

but they sometimes refuse to install on 7 because they are hard-coded to onlky install in Vista. this bypasses that.

This works except its still a little streched it installed it

 

[rsvr85]

Did you reboot after installing the driver?

If not, go ahead and reboot, making sure to change to your preferred resolution once logged back in.

Screen Resolution - Display Settings

 

[FuturDreamz]

what do you mean by stretched?
and you should be able to adjust the resolution to the display's maximum.

i did and the max resolution its showing is 1280 x 1024 when my monitor is 1440 x 900

try using the following link to download for Windows 7, IP graphics driver, SIS 671 &671 series. chose a nearby location and click download now. the difference between the two drivers is that the top one is newer
http://www.sis.com/download/agreement.php?url=/download/ - Internet Explorer only.

 

[rsvr85]

Run Windows Update to make sure the driver is up to date (i know we just downloaded from the Acer website but I've done the same and have been surprised that it has an update!).
Otherwise, click the Advanced Settings (screenshot above) and check there's nothing you're missing out there.
I have NVIDIA so it'll differ from yours.
