Plug & Play For Windows® 95 users Plug and Play is Microsoft®'s method of providing automatic peripheral connections in Windows 95. Because your new monitor features the VESA® (Video Electronics Standards Association) DDC™ (Display Data Channel) standard, the monitor's resolutions are simple to adjust when used with a DDC compatible video card in the Plug and Play environment. DDC is a protocol which allows the monitor to communicate with the video card, so the resolutions can be changed in the Display's Settings section found in the Windows 95 Control Panel. To use Plug and Play: Install the information file (.inf file) for this monitor. The installation program, titled Install.exe is on the disk or the CD ROM included with the monitor. To install the program from the OptiGreen disk: 1. With your computer on, insert the disk into the computer's disk drive. 2. Click the Windows 95 Start menu button. 3. Select Run. 4. Type in A:\install.exe if your disk drive is A. Type in B:\install.exe if your disk drive is B. 5. Click OK and follow the instructions. 6. Restart your computer for the installation to take effect. To install the program from the ViewSonic Display Suite CD : 1. With your computer on, insert the CD into the CD ROM drive. 2. Wait for the CD to automatically start. 3. Select Windows 95 Plug & Play. 4. Select Install. 5. Select Install *.INF File (Windows 95). 6. Select Execute. 7. Restart your computer for the installation to take effect. Note Some older computer systems are not compatible with the DDC standard. If your monitor is displaying a monochrome image or the wrong resolution, call ViewSonic's customer support for a non-DDC adapter. If you upgrade to a DDC compatible system later and want to use Plug & Play, just remove the adapter. ViewSonic G800 Operation 13
