I have an Asus P244W monitor and the current driver installed on it says it is analog, even though it is an LCD connected via HDMI. Is there somewhere I can track down the digital driver? Mainly because I want to use the flat panel scaling option in the nVidia drivers. With the analog driver they are greyed out and unusable, so old games are distorted and stretched. There isn't anything on the disk that came with it or on the Asus website. If I can't find the driver, is there any other way to get flat apnel scaling working?

Wingo,

There is no such thing as a "digital driver".

For this one there does appear to be analog and digital drivers. I have the analogs installed and windows update says there is a digital one, but it never downloads

I'm using a GTX280 with latest drivers and have tried many drivers, ASUS's website doesn't offer any drivers for this monitor and no matte what I try I can't get into that scaling option.

To access the scaling option the video card needs to see the monitor as a digital flat panel, if it sees it as an analog (which is usually only CRT) it wont give you that option. This is where I am gett ing a bit annoyed as I have a digital flat panel but everything is seeing it as analog.

I try to avoid the word 'never' but in this case I have to say....

I never download the suggested (or recommended) drivers from MS update.  If I want the latest driver, I go straight to the manufacturer's website and get it from them.  So..... who is your card made by?  EVGA?  Go to the vendor and look for the latest nvidia driver for the GTX280.  See if installing the newer driver will cure the problem.

I've tried different drivers for the video card already, and the only place to get the driver for the monitor is the MS updates. The Asus website doesn't have the drivers for the monitor.

So, to sum up I can't use flat panel scaling unless I somehow work out how to get the graphics card to see my monitor as digital, which isn't going to happen while I have analog drivers. Different video card drivers don't make a difference.
