Is there anyway I can obtain the driver for monitor acer G205H? My machine is a Windows XP 32 bit machine.

I stumbled upon this website which claimed to have this driver, when I clicked on the download link, I was asked to pay. But drivers are supposed to be free?

You mean the driver you can download from http://acer.com, after selecting a country (I selected US, don't think it matters), Service and Support, Driver Downloads, Monitors, G Series, G205H, G205H?

The site says it only has drivers for Vista and 7, but the downloaded .inf file states:

;================================ 
; ACER_G205H.INF 08/06/09 Ver. 1.0 
; INF File for Windows 7/Vista/XP/Me/9x/2000
; Copyright (c) 2009, ACER Corporation
;================================

@Daniel, it is not an installer at all. – Graviton Nov 13 '10 at 4:52
@Ngu Soo Hui: True. It's an inf file. The only thing it does is tell your system the native resolution and perhaps (don't remember) to use the bundles color profile. What else do you need? – Daniel Beck Nov 13 '10 at 7:31
@Daniel, I need a driver exe that installs-- not an autorun file – Graviton Nov 13 '10 at 7:44
@Ngu Soon Hui: Can't you manually add a device and specify the .inf file from System (or Hardware?) entry of Control Panel? – Daniel Beck Nov 13 '10 at 7:50
@Daniel, you have link on how to do this exactly? – Graviton Nov 13 '10 at 8:09
