Just out of curiousity I download this file after seeing your posting
(I've been wanting the new drivers too since there is some bad
interaction between IBM VACPP and the display driver) and they look
like NT files to me too. Did you actually try installing and running
the contents of that archive? What did you do?

On another note.... does anyone have the settings for the millenium
for use with a Mitsubishi 21TX? I can get the display up using one
of the other settings provided but every once in a while it wavers.
I'd like to know the correct settings for Millenium<-->TX21 before I
complain to the vendor (of the monitor - since it is such a pain to
lug around a 90lb monitor).

Thanks!
