A:These are the driver files for your monitor. Follow the instructions in your user manual to install the drivers. Your computer may ask you for monitor drivers (.inf and . icm files) or a driver disk when you first install your monitor. Follow the instructions to insert the ( companion CD-ROM) included in this package. Monitor drivers (.inf and . icm files) will be installed automatically.
