MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT 4.0 INF AND ICM NOTES:
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 does not currently use
monitor INF files. Display Resolutions in
Windows NT are controlled by the computer's
graphics adapter. There is no Monitor selection
unless the graphics adapter includes this option
with its own proprietary video drivers
(which do not ship with Windows NT).
The ICM color profile file can be used within
Windows NT and is activated from within the
graphics programs that have this feature.
PLUG AND PLAY COMPATIBILITY:
HP monitors are Microsoft Windows Plug and Play
compatible. HP monitors will work correctly without
their INF file installed. With the monitor attached,
and without the INF file installed, Microsoft Windows
95, 98, ME, 2000 and XP will recognize your HP monitor
as a "Plug and Play Monitor." The correct resolutions
will still be available in the Windows Display control
panel. Note that monitor Plug and Play compatibility
is dependent on several items:
a) The computer's graphics card must be VESA DDC2
compliant.
b) The graphics card driver must be installed and
the card recognized by Microsoft Windows.
c) The monitor must be connected directly to the
graphics card. Plug and Play does not work
through the separate BNC type connectors nor
through distribution buffers or boxes.
