External monitor hook up/usage while on Windows side of Boot Camp

You have to install the correct drivers from your OSX installation disc, you insert the disc while in Windows and the drivers will be installed.

'Generic Non-PnP Monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter' is what you get when you don't install them.

How do I use/hook up an external monitor while running the Windows side of Boot Camp on my Macbook Pro? In the Control Panel > Display > Screen Resolution then click the drop down box for 'Display' and only one option is available: 'Generic Non-PnP Monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter'. While this should generate alternative display options, I am stuck the generic one (even though my external monitor is correctly hooked up).

If anyone has or is experiencing a similar problem, please advise. Thanks!
