Any chance my monitor will work with Vista?
Monitors do not need drivers to work with an operating system. They work
fine during the initial boot right. There is no operating even loaded at that point - therefore no drivers are loaded. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "pdsnickles" wrote in message ... Thanks for that info. I guess what confuses me is DELL doesn't have any drivers listed on their site for this monitor. I guess that could mean that it does not need one because it WILL work as is...? Does anyone have any idea how I can find out for SURE? I know I could call Dell but I am short on $ and don't want to pay for tech support and it's out of warranty. I have a question posted on their forum but have not got a definitive answer there, either. Thanks for the info so far. I hope someone can give me a more definitive answer or tell me how to find out. Oh, and I DID run the Vista Upgrade Advisor on my XP machine and it's been scanning for like an hour. I think it's not working... I'll give it another hour before I kill it. I don't know what else to do, to find out. I'd appreciate any ideas as whether or not I keep this machine and set it up (hopefully) tomorrow depends on this issue. I don't want to open the box unless I'm 99% sure my monitor will work with Vista 64bit Premium. -- pdsnickles __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3970 (20090327) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3970 (20090327) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com

Thanks to all for setting me straight on this issue. I'll be hooking it up tomorrow and expect no problems. If you don't hear back from me then - as I expect - you were right. Thanks again. I'm sure I'll be back to this forum with Vista questions once I get set up. -- pdsnickles

p.s. Though it was a "side issue" in this thread, I am now willing to bet that Dreamweaver will work with Vista under the Compatibility Wizard settings. IF it does, I am going to write back to Adobe and give them hell for either not knowing, or lying, in saying it would not, to get me to buy a new version. -- pdsnickles
