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
 
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.
