VGA to 2 x VGA adapters are made for special cards that support this setup. Failing that you will have to look at a active DVI/HDMI -> VGA converter. If you are luck a simple DVI-I to VGA adapter will be all you need. It may also explain the non plug and play issue.Īs the above user points out, many less cards come with dual VGA out now days(this includes DVI-I to VGA adapters). I don't know why the touchscreen monitor isn't showing up on the list. How do I get it to show up on the list? I have a dual VGA connector attached to my PC that is connected to both my normal monitor and my touchscreen monitor. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. This explains why I can't use the extend option no matter how hard I try, it's been on duplicate mode because it's not even showing up in the monitor list. If I right click on the desktop and try to personalize the screen I get the error: Windows cannot find. My extended monitor isn't showing up on the monitor list, only the Generic Non-PnP Monitor shows up. You may also be able to get the driver from Windows update as well. Select Browser My computer for driver software.īrowse to the location of the INF file for your monitor. Right click and select Update Driver Software Select monitors from the list to show the one you are having issues with. Hold the Start button on your keyboard(between the CRTL and ALT on most) and hit R You just select update driver from the device manager and tell it you have the driver.

I went to the Nvidia website and downloaded the updates for my graphics, I now changed my screen resolution to 1600x900, but should it still read 'Generic Non-PnP Monitor' in the Display box?Īs long as you can change the resolution to the native resolution for the monitor you do not have to install a driver for the screen. More information on the monitor models as well as your computer specs may help too. Take care as adding the wrong one will leave you with a blank screen or out or range error. I right click on the desktop, select display settings, click on advanced display settings, and there I see that the resolution is 1366 X 768 and it is greyed out so I cannot change it here. My display looks like the resolution is set too high. If you know the resolutions supported, you can add them in your video card software. I am brand new to Windows 10, and have a fresh install.

To get the latest just head over the the card makers(Nvidia/AMD/Intel) or system makers(Dell/HP/Asus) website. I also learned that Windows SUCKS at keeping color profiles when swapping screens.īy the fact that you have transparency on Windows you have at least a functional video card driver. I only recently bothered to install drivers for my monitors because I have 2 of them and want to see what is what. Plug and Play screens report all the info needed to the system without the need for a driver. a scan for hardware changes is a good idea for sure). I have not seen a generic non plug and play monitor in quite some time(it was the 90's.
