INF AND ICM DESCRIPTION :

The INF file designates software and defines monitor resources used by Microsoft Windows
95 and 98 to ensure monitor compatibility with your computer's graphics adapter.
The INF file for Compaq Commercial Standard series monitors is called "Monopt_s.inf".
In order for the INF file to work correctly, it must be copied to the ..\WINDOWS\INF folder.
Once the INF file has been copied to the proper Windows folder, it is recommended
to restart Windows (with the monitor connected) in order for the proper resolutions
to appear in the Display control panel.


The ICM color profile is used in conjunction with graphics programs (operating under
Microsoft Windows 95 and 98) to provide color matching consistency from monitor
screen to printer.
The *.ICM profile should be copied to the ..\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\COLOR folder for Microsoft
Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0.

The ICM file is activated from within the graphics programs that have this feature.
The ICM color profile is not operating system specific, and is written in accordance
to the ICC Profile Format Specification.
ICC stands for the International Color Consortium.

Note :
The M510 multimedia monitor utilizes the same color profile as the Compaq S510 monitor.
The M710 multimedia monitor utilizes the same color profile as the Compaq S710 monitor.
