Driver for LCD monitor (Dell e171fp)

Hi, all --

I recently purchased a Dell e171fp flat panel monitor and was wondering if anyone out there knows if there are drivers for it. I tried accessing Dell's website but was unable to get in without registering, and I don't have a Dell system.

Any help (info, links, etc.) would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance --

Deanna ;-)

Thanks to you both for your comments!

Sorry that I neglected to mention the OS this monitor is attached to is running Win98 SE. ;-)

I'd like to go with the link from Snowguy ... do you happen to know if the driver will work with an analog monitor (which this is)?

I only ask because the description of this driver says "digitally signed monitor driver" so I was afraid this wouldn't be compatible.

TIA!

"digitally signed monitor driver" this is an electronic signature that can be used to authenticate the identity of the sender of a message or the signer of a document, and possibly to ensure that the original content of the message or document that has been sent is unchanged.

Yes it will work with your monitor.

driver guide is a fantastic site, though may be hard to get exactly the driver you need without wading through a load of drivers for different o/s or updates to drivers that require the original. Check before you d/load owt.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
