Monitor Driver Installation Procedure For Windows 98

Please note that monitor drivers do not control the number of colors
you can display in Windows.  They only enable Windows to recognize
the maximum resolution and refresh rate of your monitor.  If you
are having problems displaying more than 16 colors in Windows, you
need to install a driver for your Video card.  Contact your Video
card or Computer maker for help.

AOC does not have a driver for monitors manufactured before Windows 95
was introduced.  If you were told by an AOC Rep that a driver is not
available for your monitor, please follow Procedure 2 below to install
a Standard Monitor driver.
