Getting the most from your BenQ monitor

  

How to complete the Windows Upgrade Device Driver Wizard

1. Load the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM which came with your monitor.

Insert the CD-ROM into a CD drive on the computer you attached the monitor to.
The autorun User’s Guide language selection page will display in your web browser. 
You can select a language and view the online version of this manual from the next window. 
You could then print it out for reference if you wish to work off-line. When you’re ready, Cancel the 
browser as it is not required for the Windows Upgrade Device Driver Wizard.

2. Launch the Windows Upgrade Device Driver Wizard and click Next.

For instructions, see 

How to install on Windows 2000, ME, & 98 systems

.

3. Check the option ‘Display a list of known drivers ...’ and click Next.

4. Click the Have Disk button.

The Install From Disk window will display.

5. Click the Browse button and navigate to the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM.

This is the CD you loaded in step 1 above. The CD Drive will have a Windows designated drive letter 
(like D: or E: or F:). Select the drive letter corresponding to the drive you put the CD into.

6. Double-click the folder labelled ‘Driver’.

The contents of the ‘Driver’ folder will display.

7. Click the Open button.

This will return you to the Install from Disk window, and it will have entered the address to the BenQ 
LCD Monitor CD ‘Driver’ folder into the field titled ‘Copy manufacturer’s files from:’. 
The field will contain something like "D:\Driver", or "E:\Driver", or "F:\Driver".

8. Click the OK button.

This will return you to the Upgrade Device Driver Wizard.

9. Select (single-click) the file named BenQ FP72G/FP72G

 Properties’.

Alternatively, on Windows ME and 98, this will return you to the Advanced Display Properties 
window, skipping the next step. 

Should you wish to do so, this is where you can change the screen refresh rate and other monitor 
properties to suit your needs.  See 

How to adjust the screen refresh rate

 for details.

12. In Windows 2000, click Close.

This will close the BenQ FP72G/FP72G

 for details.
