Configuring the Display Settings 

After you connect your CRT desktop touch monitor and turn on 
your computer, the Add New Hardware Wizard should appear 
because this monitor is a plug and play device. 

1.  Choose the "Display a list of drivers..." option. 
2.  Then click on the "Have Disk" option. 
3.  Insert the Monitor Installation Disk (included with this monitor) and 

select the appropriate monitor from the list. 

4.  Click "Next" and the proper preset timing files will be installed for 

your monitor. 

You may need to configure one or more of these display settings.  
The ideal settings for the 15

Using the Standard Controls for the Video Card

has several controls that let you adjust the display settings.  The 
software and driver for each video card is unique.  In most cases, 
you adjust these settings by using a program or utility provided by 
the manufacturer of the video card.
