I forgot to add that my monitor does have an auto-rotate
feature (portrait to landscape) that DOES require a driver.


|Really, the only monitor "driver" that might be needed is a color
|profile (for critical graphics work). My Gateway FPD2185W

|the proper resolution (1680x1050) and the proper refresh rate
|(60 Hz) was recognized and properly configured during the Vista
|initial install.

| WinXP reduced the number of products that require a product driver to be
