Since I changed from 98SE to XP last week, Windows tells me that my NEC
MultiSunc LCD1700NX monitor is a "Plug and Play" monitor. It appears to be
working fine, so my questions are:

1) Does it matter?

2) If it does, how do I get it to recognise the monitor for what it is?
I've tried messing about with the disk which came with the monitor, but
without success.

Monitors don't need drivers (unless they special features involving other
hardware) but INF files are used to tell Windows a bit about your monitor.

If the files that you have on the disk for the monitor include an INF file
suitable for use with XP, right click on the INF file and select Install.

Otherwise, download this zip from NEC:
http://www.nec-mitsubishi.com/coremedia/download/18296/LCD1700NX-InfICMFiles.zip

Unzip the download to a folder. If there is no setup.exe in the unzipped
files, install the INF file as mentioned above.
