What is generic PnP in Device Manager?

Original title: Identification of the display by the Device Manager in Windows 7

Hello community,

I have two Dell 24 "ultrasharp monitors connected to my computer (i.e., Dell Dimension XPS 420) via an Nvidia GeForce GT 620 graphics card. When I check the device to the display manager, it shows the first monitor as a generic "PnP" monitor and the second as a Dell screen. In addition, I chose the second monitor as the main one. Does anyone know why the first monitor is referred to as under the generic name by Device Manager?

Thank you in advance.

Hello

Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community Forum. Rest assured that we would do our best to help you.

A generic driver just means that Windows 7 has installed one of its drivers and the component should work fine, but maybe not as many features as the drivers from the manufacturer.

If you're worried, just go to the support site for the manufacturer of your area and see if there are any drivers you can download and install.

  • Unable to set the display resolution, Intel HD 4600 in Device Manager displays ' generic non-pnp monitor low resolution.

    I am slot as Windows 7 Pro on a Dell Intel 64 bit pc with a screen HD Dell I5 and Intel HD graphics 4600 driver.  PC woke up a few hours of inactivity, after no updates known to windows or other programs, with icons and pages double size beyond the limits of the monitor, setting the low resolution and Device Manager showing ' no generic pnp monitor low resolution ' instead of 'Monitor Dell HD' and no option to increase the resolution.  No help with reset, not restoration, disconnection and reconnection monitor auto plug n Play, 'Search new device', 'add a device', update of the graphics driver, reinstall the drivers from the Dell monitor.  Troubleshooting peripheral reported to date and working correctly.  After I finally uninstalled driver restarted, and graphic displays "default monitor" Device Manager (no longer "generic low resolution"), no graphics driver identified, but don't allow me to change to a higher resolution.  New windows had to be individually size / expanded to fill the screen.  This can be corrected?  I want to optimize my display settings for this monitor.  I have reinstall my graphics driver or just be happy that I can use my computer?  Thank you.

    Call Dell.  Your monitor should have a 3-year warranty.  Your matching OptiPlex with a warranty of one year more.

    Also, check all the hidden and invisible buttons on the monitor.  Someone may have inadvertently changed one of these.

  • Portege M700: Device Manager reveals five peripheral generic HID-Compliant

    We have a M700 Tablet, which came with Vista, but came back to XP using supplied reinstall drive.

    The machine works fine for most, but sometimes suffers from a deadlock, which seems to be related to the touch screen.

    In device manager reveals five generic "HID-Compliant device" that appear to be duplicates for the other five entries in this section - the other entries seem to be the correct devices because they have specific names - Toshiba tablet buttons type "N" 'USB Human interface device', 'Virtual Driver Touch' "Virtual touch interface" and "Wacom Penabled dual touch"-if each device properties are inspected the settings under 'Driver', 'Détails' and 'Resources' are identical.

    I tried to remove redundant entries by deleting in normal mode and safe, but devices reappear.

    Is it possible that I can remove these entries and eliminate a conflict between these elements as a source of blockages.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Normally it should t be a conflict for resources between these different devices.
    The Windows operating system should assign automatically different resources if it is needed.

    > I tried to remove redundant entries by deleting in normal mode and safe, but devices reappear.

    You can disable the device in Device Manager.
    You must first mark the device and then turn it off using the Disable option.
