1.Turn off the computer and all attached devices.

2.Ensure that the monitor is connected correctly.

3.Turn on the monitor and then the system unit. Allow your computer to start the Windows Vista operating system.

4.Open the Display Properties window by clicking Start, Control Panel and then double-clicking the Hardware and Sound icon.

5.Click the Personalization icon.

6.Click the Display Settings icon.

8.Click the Monitor tab.

9.Click the Properties button.

10.Click the Driver tab.

11.Open the "Update Driver Software-Generic PnP Monitor" window by clicking on Update Driver and then click the "Browse my computer for driver software" button.

12.Select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer” and then click the Next button.

13.Insert the Lenovo Monitor CD into the CD drive and click the Have Disk button.

Click on the Browse button and navigate to the following directory:

X:\Monitor Drivers\ (where X is the drive letter designator for the CD-ROM drive).

14.Select the " L2250pwD.inf " file and click the Open button. Click the OK button.

15.Select L2250pwD and click Next. The files will be copied from the CD to your hard disk drive.

16.Close all open windows and remove the CD.

17.Restart the computer.

The system will automatically select the maximum refresh rate and corresponding Color Matching Profiles.

Note: On LCD monitors, unlike CRTs, a faster refresh rate does not improve display quality. Lenovo recommends using either 1680 x 1050 at a refresh rate of 60 Hz, or 640 x 480 at a refresh rate of 60 Hz.
