I have bought a Hanns.G HW191d LCD monitor. I was trying to install the monitor with the installation disc, but it has drivers for Windos Vista users but not Windows XP users. Please can you tell me where I might find the drivers for Windows XP for this monitor. Thankyou.
Hannspree said that there is no need for a separate driver for XP and suggested I check for an updated driver for my old NVIDIA Video card... That was the answer. I now get the full 1400X900 resolution.
If your not saavy. I will walk you through.
1. Download the above zip file and unzip it to a folder on your desktop.
2. Right click on the empty spot on your desktop and select "Properties" and select "Settings" tab.
3. Click on "Advanced" button (lower right).
4. Select "Monitor" tab and select "Properties" button.
5. Select "Drivers" tab and select "Update driver" button.
6. Select "No not this time" and "Next" button.
7. Select install from a list or specific location.
8. Select "Don't search. I will choose the driver I want", then Next button.
9. Select "Have Disk..." button.
10. Select "browse" button and find the folder you unzipped the files to.
11 You should find the folder saying "HW191D_Vista". Double click on it then the "inf32" folder.
12. Select HW191D.inf files and select "Open" button.
13. Select "OK" button.
14. It should bring you back to the screen from step 9. Select "Next" button.
15. It should begin to install. If you get a warning about the driver not being digitally signed hit "Continue anyway" button.
16. select "Finish" and your done!!!.
I had the same problem with my new 229H 22" inch monitor, I found it uses the default video driver from windows XP, so to correct these problems update your video driver in XP with newer drivers. I found one one machine with a onboard video it was not so easy because the video uses shared video memory from the MB. I had to update the MB video driver AND increase the video shared memory to the max 128 Meg to get a fair picture with a high resoultion. The other machine with a seperate video card was a snap and it went better and in the end was a crisp picture. You can read more on the website:

My only comlaint is the sound when using the headphone jack only comes out mono and not stereo.
I will upload a Copy of the original CD without the Adobe PDF installer that came with it, I made it executable just in case people do not have WinZip or WinRar installed, if you burn it into a CD it should be autoexecutable under Windows XP, just as it is originally, but what will do is install the INF file, you only need to show windows where the file is like SavageMind explain very good how to do. this is the XP version that came originally with the Monitor, exact model writen on the back reads: HW191DP.
I hope it helps someone :)

No it doesn't, you patronising *****
Many widescreens have issues with OLDER DRIVERS. Update your video
adaptors drivers. If you do need a monitor inf driver for the monitor
for XP or Vista, it's here..

The monitor is fine with XP. "Mr" either has an ancient video card or a
video card with ancient drivers that misinterpret EDID information.
It's a common malady with some widescreens.
The solution is as I already said. Update your video card drivers,
and/or use the driver inf package I linked to below, after spending 30
seconds in Google looking for it. The driver says "vista" in it's name,
but it works in XP too.

I just purchased a Hannspree 22"/HF229H Monitor and it will only install for a Vista OS - not Windows XP. What can I do now?
i have this problem too, i can´t listen anything... i´m windows xp too
When I try the inf from the above website and run the .exe file (after extracting all three files) absolutely nothing happens. I'm still at square one.
I JUST BOUGHT A HANNSPREE MONITOR MODEL HF229H, CD BRINGS VISTA DRIVERS, BUT NO XP DRIVERS. I NEED XP DRIVES FOR THIS UNIT TO WORK PROPERLY.
PLEASE, GUIDE ME TO FIX PROBLEM
Dam I just bought this same monitor at best buy (sale) and it's great but i need the drivers to adjust everything so games look a little better (picture kinda runs off screen) and i cant completely fix it with ATI CCC or windows.
Same problem as others
Definitely have same problem. I downloaded a generic driver that allows 1600X900 resolution. this is the closest generic i could find to the 1440X900 spec for the monitor. works ok but would be nice if proportions were accurate.
I JUST PURCHASED A HANNSPREE 19" MONITOR AND THE DRIVERS ARE FOR WINDOWS VISTA, I HAVE WINDOWS XP. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
cannot
Same problem
I bought the hannspree 23 hf237 monitor, had the same problems with drivers for XP. Used the link HW191D as shown, worked great. The next time I turned on the computer it returned to 1280 by 768 pixels.
I tried reloading the hw191d drivers, but no change.
