HP w185 monitor installing help, no monitor tab in device manager

‎04-25-2009 01:26 AM

Hi appreciate any help. Plugged in my HP w185 monitor into my tower and now it's stuck in 640 X 480 resolution

 

I went to download the driver and tried to install it and it says "access denied" followed by

 

- Click Next to install the display drivers for the following displays:
 HP w185 Wide LCD Monitor (Version  1.0.0.0)

 

- The display drivers have been installed on your system. Please connect the display and restart Windows.

 

 

I went to device manager and there is no monitor tab and I am unable to get out of 640 X 480 resolution. Any way to get my computer to recognise my new monitor and get back the ability to change resolution?

 

Thanks

Access denied in Vista - get updated software:

However, you should not even need to install the monitor software because the monitor is plug and play. What happens if you connect another monitor to the pc?
