Installing the Video Card and Video Driver
Before you can connect your touch monitor, make sure your computer
has a video card already installed for the monitor. After you connect the
monitor, you need to install the video software driver. The video driver
is supplied by the video card manufacturer and may be found on the
diskettes that came with your computer. If you need information on
installing a video card or video driver, refer to the manual that came
with your video card.
