    Hi

    Its very likely that you will need if the monitors resolution will not change the Graphic Drivers and the drivers for your model PC are here http://www.insignia-products.com/t-drivers.aspx Install Chipset then Graphic drivers, plus your sound/Audio drivers are their as well so once you have installed the other two install the Audio.

    The drivers are for Windows XP

    yes. Some drivers do not automatically install themselves. First note the extraction path of the drivers you unzip. Next Right click My Computer --> Properties. Click the hardware tab and go to device manager. You should see a series of yellow exclamation points and it should also tell you the device that is having the problem.

    Right-Click the device you need to install drivers for and choose Update driver. Next it will ask you if you would like to connect to windows update to search for drivers select no and then click next. Next screen choose install from a list or specific location. Next chose Don't search I will chose the driver to install.

    Click on have disk and browse to the location of where you unzipped your drivers then click next and finish. May prompt you to restart after that.

    May be a quicker way to go about it but this is how I handle these situations :)

    Let me know how it goes.

    Hi

    Yes, once they are unzipped, they should be if you left them to save in the default location C: a folder called Drivers with some other folders inside, open them up and you should see a Setup file, double click those for the various drivers to install them.
