Hannspree will not supply XP drivers

I have located the driver for your Hannspree HW173DB0 monitor. Click here go to the official download page

railbird56, Common problem for ALL BRANDS of "cold-cahtode-fluorescent-lamp" back-lit lcd monitors! Here are your options!!! Cheapest to most costly!! 1. Warranty repair. 2 DIY repair???? 3. Local or distant repair. 4. possible old + cash swapout with Hannspree for refurbished same model?? 5. Trade-in for new wide screen. My best guess on your monitor (no history) is that the unit's SMPS is in partial or full shutdown mode during it's black screen moments. How much do you know about "electronic ballasts" "switch-mode-power-supplys" and how to repair them?? 12fixlouie

Try this driver for Hannspree HF229H:

There are no drivers needed for Windows XP, the default monitor driver will work fine.You may need to update your video card drivers if you are unable to use the recommended resolution.

You need to set the correct resolution for your monitor,

To do this, minimize all windows, and right click on your desktop (not on an icon). Select properties, and go to Settings on the tabs on top.

Drag the slider until your resolution matches that of the monitor. I use mine on 1600 x 1050. However if your card doesn't go that high, try either the next ones down until it looks normal, or try a driver update for your graphics card.

Hi David,

Thanks for the comment regarding what type of computer equipment that you have. The integrated video card that you are using definitely is not designed for the widescreen monitors and will not work properly with the widescreen (as you have noticed). The solutions that you can use would be to get a non-widescreen standard monitor or install a new video card that has widescreen capability.

Hope that helps,

Take care,

Michael

first, check outlet, make it sure that power is on the appropriate voltage. then your UPS and voltage regulator also. try to check all button switch and your video card

I have the same problem.  Did you find a solution or just return it?

there are no drivers needed for XP, only Vista. update your video card drivers so that you can set the resolution to the recommended setting.

THIS IS FROM ONE OF MY OTHER POSTS THIS WILL WORK WITH ANY MONITOR TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM.

Ok so i was searching around the internet and found a similar problemwith another monitor so for giggles i tried there method. This is thewebsite where i found it : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/itprovistahardware/thread/d7c0e5bd-2fcf-48ff-a79b-c157014fc821/#page:3

The Secoind wntry has a download.Download it then extract the files to the desktop. Dont worry if youget errors when the program runs it will fix them, if they come up justpress enter to keep going. Once the program completes install thedriver again and it should work as it did for me.

If you cant get to that website heres the post from it:
"Ok, once again i checked updates for HP My Display/Drivers, and found this:
http://www.portrait.com/dtune/hpw/enu/support_help.html

Here is a direct link to fix for "Access Denied" issue (HP LCD Monitors & Vista):
http://download.portrait.com/DRVFix.zip

Download DRVFix.zip. The fix contains 3 files including this readme. All must be in to the same folder.

• readme.txt - This file
• RestoreDisp.exe - Executable required to restore permissions. DO NOT RUN THIS FILE
• DVRFIX.exe - Run this file in Administrator mode after reading the instructions completely

To perform the fix do the following:

1. Extract all files in to a folder on your desktop
2. Open the folder, right click on the DVRFIX.exe file and choose "Run As Administrator"
3. Follow the on screen instructions. When complete, you should be able to install your drivers

If you find this helpful, please let me know.

I fixed this issue manually (from registry), about month ago.
But gladly i found this help file, by mistake.

Vesa"
