    Hi all

    I've installed Windows 7 on my 1700, and it's all installed fine. I have the latest video drivers from nVidia, and all the others from Dell. The only thing that I'm not sure about is that under Device Manager for the actual monitor (on the laptop) it just shows as generic PnP monitor. Should it not have a specific drivers for best results? If so, does anyone know which? I can't find one on the Dell support site!

    Many thanks.

    Screens don't need drivers. Hell, they don't have drivers. As far as I know, they always say something like "generic PnP monitor". If everything's working fine, I don't think you should worry.
