hello friends,
I've recently bought a Viewsonic 19'' TFT monitor, Model-VA1912wb
Now I 've a Dual boot system, WinXP professional & Win98 SE. Its fine with Xp but 98 is giving problem. The accompanying disc has 98 drivers & I tried to install the driver from it, but Win98 somehow cannot install it....its running in safe mode.
When I'm trying to install the driver using device manager & giving the path for the driver file, Win98 displays that it cannot find the file when in reality the file is there.
Say the file name is VA1912.icc but win98 saying its searching for a file named VA1912.ic....lookz like its having problem with the file extension....
can u plzz suggest me something?
Thankz.

Don't install the monitor drivers - they do practically nothing for you anyway. Plug and play drivers are just as good, in some cases better.
If you really want to install the drivers you can try hacking the INF file for the monitor to find and correct the name miss-match. Or you could rename the icc/icm file. this is a colour correction file that will tweak the screen colours to be slighly more accurate. They still will not be the correct colours, just slightly better than they were.

Try running 98 with just a generic default monitor
