No special driver is available or required AFAIK. I've never known an analog 15-pin VGA PC output to be able to communicate fully with a display via a display's HDMI input. I suppose there may be some sort of non-passive way to do this, but the VGA to HDMI cable you have probably isn't any such thing. Digital output to analog input /is/ typically possible with an inexpensive passive adapter or adapter cable. Optiplexes usually have also a DisplayPort output. They can be used with a passive adapter to connect to a display's HDMI or DVI port. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
