system specs:- windows 2000 + latest service pack 4 + all critical updates..basically
the latest from windows update:-

I log in using administrator


problem :-

monitor screen flickers..

so to change refresh rate of monitor to something higher...

but I get only the following screen when I go to change refresh rate:-

http://www.publicstatic.com/monitor.gif

and "use hardware default setting " is the ONLY option I see..

Trying to load samtron 56V monitor driver from floppy

when I right click on "My Computer"

- properties - hardware - device manager -- I see

http://www.publicstatic.com/devicemgr.gif

i.e I dont see a "monitor" item at all ??

so I directly click on setup from the samsung floppy and I get a screen like

http://www.publicstatic.com/samsung1.gif

and I choose

samtron 56V from the list

and click on "install"

and I get

"Error Occur, While installing monitor adapter (Error Code 259)

so any help will be sincerely appreciated

basically I want the monitor flicker to go away

the same monitor when used with windows 98 allows for changing refresh rate so when
I set it to 70 / 80 the flicker goes away..

but the same cannot be done in windows 2000 why ??
