Thanks a lot for your response. I followed the link you provided; it took me to the hp.com web site. Downloaded the driver and i got the same error message. The message I got was "error installing driver".  I looked up in my device manager and I moticed that i don't have any monitor drivers shown up in there. Do you think that i may have a bad monitor or computer?

Monitors that are plug and play compatible do not require drivers to function.  If display resolutions are missing

or the name of the monitor is "default monitor", you may need to update the video drivers on the computer.

Is the error Error: The setup has detected that version 1.00 of HP My Display is already installed ?

Or is it an Access Denied error?

The exact message reads as follows:

"An error occurred while installing the display driver".

This happens whit the driver from the CD that came with the monitor as well as with the one available in the HP website.

You're not alone ... I just opened my Christmas gift (an HP w2207h monitor) and I am having the exact same problem and error?  Now what???

I also have a Vista 64 bit (new) system and a new w2207h monitor. I get the the same message  "error installing driver". Have not figured out how to get around this.

Try disabling UAC (user account control) from the Control Panel, User Accounts menu, then restart the pc install the driver, restart the pc and voila.

The best thing to do is remove the version 1.00 of HP My Display.More people complain about monitor issues using that software.Most remove it and itsolves the issue.
