Q:
When I install my monitor what should I do if the screen shows 'Cannot display this video
mode'?

Unplug all cables, then connect your PC to the monitor you used previously, which displayed
correctly.

In the Windows Start Menu, select Settings/Control Panel. In the Control Panel Window,
select the Display icon. Inside the Display Control Panel, select the 'Settings' tab. Under the
settings tab, in a box labeled 'desktop area', move the slidebar to 1280x768 pixels.

Q:
What are the .inf and .icm files on the set-up disk & CD-ROM? How do I install the drivers
(.inf and Icm)?
A:
These are the driver files for your monitor. Follow the instructions in your user manual to
install the drivers. The computer may ask you for monitor drivers (.inf and Icm files) or a
driver disk when you first install your monitor. Follow the instructions to insert the driver
disk (either floppy or CD-ROM) included in this package. Monitor drivers (.inf and Icm files)
will be installed automatically.
