EPA ENERGY STAR
European Union CE Directives
Swedish TCO 1995
Universal Driver Manager
This monitor may require a graphics driver (and/or .INF file) that is
compatible with your computer’s graphics adapter. The CD-ROM
included with this monitor contains an .INF file (see the section on
Information Files). Compaq has also created a Universal Driver
Manager (UDM) release that supports all graphics adapters found on
Compaq Deskpro and Compaq Workstation products. The UDM eases
graphics driver deployment across Compaq platforms ensuring cross-
compatibility and backward-compatibility. The resulting solution
enables customers to manage and control ongoing software
maintenance costs. The UDM is available on the Compaq Support
Software CD for Compaq Desktop, Portable, and Workstation
Products and the Compaq World Wide Web site (www.compaq.com).
Information Files
This monitor includes a CD-ROM with two information files that
should be installed onto your computer—an .INF file and an .ICM file.
The .INF file defines monitor resources and provides specifications
used by Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows 98 to install support
software for certain hardware devices. The .INF file ensures monitor
compatibility and optimization with your computer’s graphics adapter.
The .ICM file provides color matching consistency from monitor
screen to printer and is activated from within the graphics programs
that have this feature. To install these files on your computer, follow
the instructions on the “Configuring Your Compaq LCD Monitor”
card located in the Program License Agreement packet along with the
CD-ROM. INF file updates are downloadable by clicking on:
