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 http://www.compaq.com/support/files/monitors/index.html and select your monitor model to download the appropriate files.
