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 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.
■ 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 CD-ROM or 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
