Software icon on the desktop or the application launcher and select the Easy CD

You can manually select or change the monitor model, refresh rates, screen

resolution, color settings, font sizes, and power management settings. To do so, right-

click on the Windows Desktop, then click Properties to change display settings. For

more information, refer to the online documentation provided with the graphics

controller utility or the documentation that came with your monitor.

Protecting the Software

To protect the software from loss or damage, you should keep a backup copy of all

system software, applications, and related files stored on the hard drive. Refer to the

operating system or backup utility documentation for instructions on making backup

copies of your data files.
