Depending on the content of the screen, at times the shadows of  
two small horizontal lines may appear on the screen. This is not  
a defect and is normal for all aperture grille type displays. The  
shadows are two damper wires that reduce the monitor's  
susceptibility to vibration.  
Universal Driver Manager  
This monitor may require a graphics driver (and/or .INF file) that is  
compatible with your computer’s graphics adapter. A CD-ROM  
containing an .INF file is included with this monitor (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  
Information Files  
This monitor includes a CD-ROM with two information files that should  
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 95/98 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, insert the Compaq  
CD-ROM into the computer's CD tray and follow the instructions from  
the menu that appears on the monitor screen. The CD-ROM is located in  
the Program License Agreement packet. INF file updates are  
downloadable by clicking on:
