GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR BenQ MONITOR
To gain the most benefit from your new BenQ color LCD flat screen monitor, you
should install the custom BenQ LCD Monitor driver software as provided on the BenQ
LCD Monitor CD-ROM.
The circumstances under which you connect and install your BenQ LCD Monitor will
determine which process you need to follow to successfully install the BenQ LCD
Monitor driver software. These circumstances relate to which version of Microsoft
Windows you are using, and whether you are connecting the monitor and installing the
software onto a new computer (without existing monitor driver software), or whether
you are upgrading an existing installation (which already has existing monitor driver
software) with a newer monitor.
In either case however, the very next time you turn on your computer (after connecting
the monitor to your computer), Windows will automatically recognise the new (or
different) hardware, and will launch its Found New Hardware wizard.
Follow the wizard instructions until it asks you to select a monitor model. At that point,
click the Have Disk button, insert the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM and select the
appropriate monitor model. Further details and step-by-step instructions for both an
automatic (new) or upgrade (existing) installation follow.

How to install the monitor on a new computer on page 8.
·
How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer on page 9.
If you require a User Name and Password to login to your Windows computer, you must
be logged on as an Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group in order
to install the monitor driver software. Furthermore, if your computer is connected to a
network which has security access requirements, network policy settings may prevent
you from installing software on your computer.
