That driver package is 32-bit only, unfortunately.

If there is not a Vista 64bit signed driver you may be out of luck on this
one. What do the support folks at the manufacturer say about Vista support? "MartinP" wrote in message ... That driver package is 32-bit only, unfortunately.

64-bit Proview PL926W drivers?
In reply to everyone's post...I too am having a problem finding a 64 bit driver but I F O U N D A W O R K A R O U N D . I had a problem with the same monitor on a Windows XP x64 machine. What I did was leave the plug and play driver installed for the monitor and loaded the color management profile for the monitor. It comes with the 32 bit drivers of the PL926WBi monitor. I got all my resolutions back. Here's what you do. Vista Users: 1) goto control panel 2) click appearance and personalization 3) click personalization 4) click display settings 5) click advanced settings 6) goto the color management tab and click the color management button 7) under the device, check the box that says "use my settings for this device". The add button is now selectable. 8) click the add button 9) click on the browse button. 10) goto the directory of the extracted files 11) change the files of type setting to ICC Profiles 12) select the file 926w and click add 13) now highlight it and set it to default. and that should be it. Windows XP x64 users: 1) open the control panel 2) open display 3) click on the settings tab 4) click advanced 5) click the color management tab and click add 6) goto the directory where you extracted the files and select 926w then click add 7) now set it to default and click apply. And you are all done...you should be able to change your resolutions as you please...I hope this helps all of you out -- Oxendine9381 |

64-bit Proview PL926W drivers?
I also just figured out another way to get the drivers to load a couple hours ago. The INF file can be edited so the drivers are readable by a 64 bit operating system. It sounds complicated but infact it is very easy. change this: ; Manufacturers ;------------------------------------------------- [Manufacturer] %PROVIEW%=PROVIEW to this: ; Manufacturers ;------------------------------------------------- [Manufacturer] %PROVIEW%=PROVIEW,NTamd64 and the following under it from this: [PROVIEW] to this: [PROVIEW.NTamd64] Thats it. The INF file is now readable by the 64 bit operating system. I was able to update the driver from the device manager in system properties. Have fun -- Oxendine9381 |
