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 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
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 clicking on:
