Information Files
The CD-ROM included with this monitor contains two
information files to be installed onto your computer; an .INF file
and an .ICM file.
The .INF file defines monitor resources and provides
specifications used by most operating systems to install support
software for certain hardware devices. The .INF file ensures
monitor compatibility and optimization with your computer’s
graphics adapter. INF files are downloadable by clicking on:
www.compaq.com/products/monitors/index.html
and selecting the
desired monitor.
The .ICM file provides color matching consistency from monitor
screen to printer and is activated from within graphics programs
that have this feature.
To install these files on your computer:
1. Insert the Software and Reference Guide CD-ROM in your
computer's optical drive.
2. When the CD-ROM menu launches, select Install INF and
ICM Files .
3. To get the latest .INF and .ICM files, download them from the
Compaq Web site. Access
