cyberdiamond Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 How do you supress the finding of a plug & play monitor without including the drivers for every monitor? I use my disk on all different types of machines.Its not like xp needs the drivers!When it comes up you need to click next, then it finds it then you have to click finish.Hardly unattended.

BRANDON.RONEY Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Well I don't have the answer man, but I do have that problem...I think what we need to do is include a subfolder in drivers with the default plug and play Monitor inf files and change of course the OempnpPath to include that folder. So all we need to know is how to get ahold of these files.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I put together monitor INFs for about 10 manufacturers (over 2000 files), but I hear that monitor drivers won't install during the driver installation stage, so it's moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of downloading each and every one driver from their site, I've sent an e-mail to ask if there's a download available that includes all their drivers. This is what I received:other than the single file options on our site, there is no complete package, one containing all drivers, available.But I think sending you our product CD, with all drivers and files for each and every one of our monitors should resolve your request.Kindly forward me your home address and I'll have one off to you this week.Kind regards,George PavicI'm starting to like the support of Hyundai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesses Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I've also run into this problem, but only one some machines. On our P4 machines (845 chipset, onboard Intel extreme graphics, etc) I get prompted to install the plug & play monitor. On our P3 machines (815 chipset, onboard video) I get no prompt. Both machines are being run through a kvm, so there is absolutely no difference in monitor hardware that woudl be causing this.The P3's video drivers are included with XP, but the P4's video had to be added to the cd. It appears that the non-cd video drivers may be causing this? Are other people having this if they include their own video drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesses Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I am now certain that it is the intel drivers that are bringing up the pnp monitor dialog. I just did a fresh install and installed the drivers by h and. Immediately after completion I was asked to install the pnp monitor driver.Anyone have any idea on how to get it to install silently?

jesses Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I managed to get the popup to go away by using different drivers. I can't remember at the moment whether I'm using the most recent intel video drivers or the most recent drivers from AOpen (motherboard manufacturer).Notice that even though the pnp monitor dialog pops up, if you ignore it it will be automatically closed when Windows finishes installing itself.

And you were installing Windows on a system with what monitor attached? Did you include the monitor's .inf file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 If you need a command-line to install an INF/driver forcibly, I've posted it here somewhere....As for normal monitor drivers, its no different from any other drivers. You need the INF and the digital signature (.CAT file) for the same. And if an ICC color profile is included its a bonus. The real problem is because most manufacturers use the same INF for installing an entire product-line of monitors. So in the display properties, you'll have your monitor listed like this:SyncMaster 703(M)s/ 753(M)s/750(M)s/753(M)v, MagicSyncMaster CM173A(M)on NVIDIA GeForce4 MX440So if you edit the INF, the security catalog becomes invalid after that (due to which it won't install unattended now).Other than that, most other manufacturers don't provide signed INFs at all.
