Okay, I am not sure if anyone can help me out on this one...at first this might seem very similar to a few other threads about this, but it's a different problem from what I can gather.

I am running Vista and recently bought a laptop and an LG W2252 for photo editing. I am only running ONE monitor at a time, not dual simultenously.

I calibrated it and it seems okay, but I keep getting the following message:

"DisplayInfoRB-getscreenindex-didn't find monitor, ',',1'24,768"

Now, I suspect I might know the reason why. The CD that came with the monitor doesn't appear to want to install the driver.

I went on line and downloaded a driver from LG, but again it won't intall.

Instead of saying it has installed LG W2252, it keeps saying it has successfully downloaded "Generic PnP Monitor".

Whenever I start the computer DataColour can't find the monitor and I have to recalibrate it each time.

Trouble is there seems no way for me to load the W2252 driver as it just keeps wanting to default to "Generic PnP Monitor".

If anyone can solve this they can have my two children....okay, maybe only the first born one.
 
So, Windows Display Properties is showing the Generic Monitor instead of the LG?

I have encountered similar problems, but they seemed to be intermittent. I never really could identify the source of the problems, it just seemed to work sometimes, and not others. This was on a desktop with multiple dual head video cards, and multiple monitors. Rearranging the configurations seemed to produce different results in monitor ID.

Might be worthwhile looking for an LG, or otherwise monitor specific forum.
 
Brad,

Yes, that's it!

I am looking around for a more specific LG forum.

Thanks for the reply.

Brad, but as far as I can tell my monitor is still calibrated accurately.

The major issue is it's a pain having to manually get the software to check the calibration and load it each time, as opposed to it just loading automatically.
