Default Re: unable to install display drivers for dual monitors

You won't get the full functionality that you got in XP with just a generic
driver.
Prior to Vista drivers were allowed to put part of their driver code into
the Windows Kernel to improve performance. With Vista this ability was
removed in order to increase the security of the system against driver bugs
and Viruses. It is for this reason that most drivers had to be rewritten.
