Graphics Driver
This monitor's higher resolutions may also require a special
graphics driver that is compatible with your computer's graphics
adapter. If your Compaq computer has a graphics card installed
that supports the higher resolutions, 1920 × 1035 to 1920 ×
1200, these resolutions will display on this monitor. If your
computer has the proper hardware, but lacks the driver software,
you can access the Compaq World Wide Web site and
download the latest drivers. If your Compaq computer hardware
does not support the higher resolutions, contact your Compaq
authorized dealer or reseller for information on upgrades. If you
do not have a Compaq computer, contact the dealer that
represents your computer’s brand name for this information.
Compaq has created a Universal Driver Manager (UDM)
release that supports all Compaq QVision graphics controllers
and most graphics controllers found on Compaq Deskpro
products. The UDM eases graphics driver deployment across all
Compaq Deskpro 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 Support Software CD for
Compaq Desktop, Portable, and Workstation Products and the
Compaq World Wide Web site (www.compaq.com).
✎If the updated Universal Driver Manager that supports the
Compaq P1610 Monitor is not available on the Web site,
contact your authorized Compaq dealer or reseller.
■ You can order the Support Software CD for Compaq
Desktop, Portable, and Workstation Products. This compact
disc contains the latest device drivers, utilities, and
flashable ROM images needed to run MS-DOS, Microsoft
Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT Workstation, and
IBM OS/2 on your Compaq commercial Desktop, Portable,
or Workstation product.
■ You can download the Support software from the Compaq
World Wide Web site (www.compaq.com).
■ You can purchase backup diskettes.
