							20  Getting the most from your BenQ monitor  
Getting the most from your BenQ monitor
To gain the most benefit from your new BenQ LCD monitor, you should install the custom 
BenQ LCD Monitor driver software as provided on the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM.
The circumstances under which you connect and install your BenQ LCD Monitor will 
determine which process you need to follow to successfully install the BenQ LCD Monitor 
driver software. These circumstances relate to which version of Microsoft Windows you are 
using, and whether you are connecting the monitor and installing the software onto a new 
computer (without existing monitor driver software), or whether you are upgrading an existing 
installation (which already has existing monitor driver software) with a newer monitor. 
In either case however, the very next time you turn on your computer (after connecting the 
monitor to your computer), Windows will automatically recognize the new (or different) 
hardware, and will launch its 
Found New Hardware wizard. 
Follow the wizard instructions until it asks you to select a monitor model. At that point, click 
the 
Have Disk button, insert the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM and select the appropriate 
monitor model. Further details and step-by-step instructions for either an automatic (new) or 
upgrade (existing) installation, see:
• How to install the monitor on a new computer on page 21.
• How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer on page 22.
• If you require a User Name and Password to login to your Windows computer, you must be logged on as an 
Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group in order to install the monitor driver software. 
Furthermore, if your computer is connected to a network which has security access requirements, network 
policy settings may prevent you from installing software on your computer.
• To check the name of the purchased model, refer to the specification label on the back of the monitor.
