This allows customers that buy a Compaq monitor to use it with a non-Compaq computer. After this software is installed, Windows 95 Plug and Play recognizes the monitor. Resolution information and other configuration information can then be set from the Display icon in the Control Panel. Without this software, non-Compaq computers configure a Compaq monitor as an "Unknown monitor." Enhancements/Fixes: - Adds support for more Compaq monitor models. HOW TO USE: 1.

You will be prompted to insert the formatted diskette in a drive to create the diskette. 4. After the diskette has been created, you may delete the SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2. 5. To install the software, run SETUP.EXE. For example, with the created diskette in drive A:, select Start, Run, then enter: a:\setup.exe 6. When the update is complete, remove the diskette and restart the computer. Windows 95 Plug and Play should recognize the Compaq monitor. Copyright 1998, Compaq Computer Corporation.
