Operating The Monitor; Software And Utilities; The Information File - HP W17q - Compaq - 17" LCD Monitor User Manual

Software and Utilities

The monitor includes a CD that contains two files you can install
on your computer:
■
an .INF (Information) file
■
an .ICM (Image Color Matching) file
Adobe Reader is supplied on this CD and can be installed from
the menu.
✎
If the monitor does not include a CD, the .INF and .ICM files can
be downloaded from the HP monitors support Web site. See
"Downloading from the Worldwide Web" in this chapter.

The Information File

The .INF file defines monitor resources used by Microsoft
Windows operating systems to ensure monitor compatibility with
the computer's graphics adapter.
This monitor is Windows Plug and Play compatible and the
monitor will work correctly without installing the .INF file.
Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer's
graphic card is VESA DDC2 compliant and that the monitor
connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does not
work through separate BNC type connectors or through
distribution buffers/boxes. You may need to install the .INF file if
these conditions are not met.
