Jean, Monitor drivers are almost never pre-installed for you no matter who the manufacturer is, and I've never seen an out of the box computer yet that had the correct driver installed for the monitor that came with it. My Dell computer originally came with a Dell monitor but even so, the driver for the monitor was not installed. It was no big deal to go to their website and find the driver and install it. You can do the same. You need to find out the model of your monitor and go to that company's website to get the current driver, then install it, and your monitor will probably work better. Even if you could find the video driver on the CD that came with your computer, chances are it's out of date by now, and finding a new copy of it on the internet would be more worthwhile.
