The Installer takes a few moments to determine what needs to be done and then begins to
copy files. If other applications are open, a message asks you to quit them. Click Continue to
quit the applications and continue with the installation.

The Installer checks to make sure you have the system software you need to use the display.
If anything is missing, a message tells you what you need. You won’t be able to install the
software until you correct the problem. If a message says you don’t have the correct system
software, you can purchase a new version from an Apple-authorized dealer.
After the installation, the Installer tells you to restart your computer.
13 Click Restart.
The software is now installed and the display is ready for use.

Installing Setup Information on Windows-Based Computers
On Windows-based computers, a new device is usually detected automatically when it is
connected to your computer. To determine that Windows has correctly identified your
display, check Monitor Type in the Display Properties dialog box. If the display is not listed,
you need to install setup information; otherwise, some resolutions and refresh rates may not
be available on your display.
To see whether Windows has identified your display, follow these steps:
1 Open the Start menu and choose Settings.
2 Open the Control Panel and double-click the Display icon.
The Display Properties dialog box appears.
3 Click the Settings tab at the top of the dialog box.
The Settings panel appears.
4 Click the Change Display Type button in the lower-right corner to display the current
Monitor Type.
m If the Monitor Type shown is your display, your computer has correctly identified your
display. You are ready to use your display with your computer.
Important If you ever reinstall system software on your computer, you must also reinstall
the Apple Displays Software.
