Heya, a friend just gave me a Magview 19" CRT to use until I buy me a new monitor. I have XP PRo and SP2 with all updates and the monitor is detected as a crummy plug & play with a max refresh of 75hz. I can't find drivers ANYWHERE for this monitor. I'm going to have to use it for a couple of months, does anyone know where I can get drivers for this? The screen and text look terrible.

Well, according to Google, its either a Proview monitor, or Mag Innovisions.

Check the back of the monitor for a sticker stating what it's actually made by. Then search for that driver on Google.

It's a Magview VM900e every website I find in google does NOT have it even if listed in the search and two sites want to charge me $2. This is ridiculous. I've never had such a hard time finding a driver.

Try both the Proview and Mag Innovisions drivers.

I absolutely cannot find anything at all. The few driver files I found did not have the vm900e driver. No clue where to go or what to do. Never had this happen :/

thats for XP but not sure if it will work, its just the inf file

is that an old monitor?

Thanks Warez, did not work. It allows me to choose a few models but not mine. If I accept the one Windows recommends it still locks me into a horrible refresh rate. Basically it keeps it in the "plug and play" category. Gosh, this stinks. It's stamped 2001 on the monitor. The text looks horrible and fuzzy. YUCK!

Any other ideas?

whats the exact model? is it the one you posted? thats the one I chose and there were only 2 to chose from, one was for windows 98 and the other xp
