Follow up on own post. Ok it\'s a samtron 75e monitor. I have the same monitor on another computer which runs xp and it works fine. Strange thing is on the samtron website it shows their are no drivers available for win2000 or xp. And on a third pc windows2000 works fine with a different monitor so a corrupt win2000cd isn\'t the problem is my thinking. I\'ve also tried 3 clean installs on the problem system to no avail. Device manager is not recognizing a plug and play moniter whereas in the other two systems it is. In Device manager their is a yellow ? mark under Other Devices. Under this heading it has a yellow ? under 1)multimedia audio controller, 2)pci device, and 3) video controller vga compatable. Is for some reason win2000 is not compatable with the monitor since it can\'t recognize the driver, or does it sound like something else since the driver is recognized on xp with the same monitor. TIA
