I use a Sony Graphics GDM-F500R 21" monitor which I dearly love and
would marry if it were a woman... I had the original Sony driver installed
and working great, and somewhere along the lines of windows updating,
within the last year, XP has changed the driver to it's own, deleting the
original.

Problem is, it has limited resolution of 1920x1440... Sony's goes to 2048x
1990 (or something close to that, that is a standard highest), not that I go
that high, i only take it to 1280x1024.

The real problem,

Every time I change a window there is a sharp and quick expansion of the
entire screen, same thing whenever a white window becomes expanded onto
the screen. It's as though the tube or some processing chip can't handle it.

Sisoft Sandra tells me it is an LCD monitor, obviously deriven from reading
windows XP...? I have no way of deleting the XP driver and installing the
original. Anyone know what I should do?

TIA all,

Try changing the driver yourself..Download the drivers from sony or try
windows
update catalog,move the drivers to a 3.5 floppy,open device mgr,locate the
monitor,update drivers,select let me choose,browse to floppy.

Have you tried rolling back the driver?
* open Device Manager > expand (+) Display Adapters
* right-click your display driver, select Properties
* click into 'Driver' tab, select 'Roll Back Driver'

Thanks, somehow I didn't trust that feature... there was something of a
subliminal obscurity related to looking at it, from the blindness of the
darkness of the subconscience. DAMHIKT... it just "is".

I fixed it actually, in an attempt to install it again, only this time I used
the "have disc" feature, fed the extraction to it. This driver is from '00,
never worked before this, besides the first time.
