I connected my Acer's AL2216W monitor to a new Lenovo desktop. I want to install the Acer's driver so I can set the display to its native resolution. However, in Device Manager the only monitor listed is a Generic non-PNP VGA. Do I have to install the driver in a particular folder to have the Acer detected on boot? Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, when I try to update the driver for the generic device with the one for the Acer monitor, it says that the one already installed for the generic device is the most current one.
