Getting the most from your FP91R  

To upgrade the monitor on an existing computer

This instruction details the procedure for manually updating the existing monitor driver software 
on your Microsoft Windows computer. It is currently tested as compatible (and recommended 
only) for Windows 2000 and Windows XP Operating System (OS). 

The BenQ LCD Monitor driver for your model may well function perfectly with other versions of Windows, 
however, as at the time of writing, BenQ has done no testing of this driver on other versions of Windows 
and cannot guarantee its operation on those systems.

Installing monitor driver software involves selecting an appropriate information file (.inf) on the 
BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM for the particular model monitor you have connected, and letting 
Windows install the corresponding driver files from the CD. You need only steer it in the right 
direction. Windows has an Upgrade Device Driver Wizard to automate the task and guide you 
through the file selection and installation process.
