generic pnp monitor continues to discovered each boot

I have a BenQ flat LCD monitor. I installed it's driver yet Vista changed this to Generic PNP Monitor which continues to be discovered at each boot and asks to be installed.
This discovery process also disables my antivirus program and a Pdf file printer driver which both load HKLM/Run
I have disabled the Generic PNP Monitor (I first tried deleting it and using Safe Mode etc to no avail) in the device manager and that seems to help as it is no longer discovered, it works fine and the HKLM/Run stuff no longer gets thrown out.

Did you install a Vists driver or XP driver? If you installed an XP driver, that could be the problem. If you installed a Vista driver, maybe there's a but in that.

The BenQ driver was an XP driver. But the major issue now is that the Vista Generic PNP Monitor driver was then installed and that it continues to be discovered at each boot and that this has consequences for other programs.

I have the opposite problem, the only drivers available for my monitor are for XP, during installation the Generic PNP monitor driver was deleted and the Viewsonic driver failed to install properly, now I have no monitor driver installed. While ATI Catylist handles most of these problems (and shows the proper monitor drivers installed) I cannot access some of the features, for instance I can only display 60hz "Copenhagen" wrote in message

Look in C:\Windows\inf for the inf file for Benq and delete it. Then restart the computer. Hopefully this may work. Alternatively, uninstall your video card driver and let Windows reload it. Remember you are dealing with a Beta system so use the drivers that come with Vista as they are designed for it. Using earlier XP drivers is risky. This is a new OS with a new display driver model.
