its the graphic card that controls the monitor (re the vision master
15"-17" ) the drivers are with the card. There is still quite a shortage
of 95 drivers from card manufactures, the ones shown in and available in
95 are what manufactures forwarded to Microsoft in the Beta stage, some
manufactures never even bothered, there are drivers for Iiyama in 95.
more important if the graphic card is not shown you have to enter your
own details.... hope this is of help.
