TOPIC

    I have a PC Compatibility Card installed in my Macintosh and an Apple Studio Display 15" LCD connected to it, but I cannot get the .INF file included with the Studio Display to install under Windows 95. I keep receiving this error message, "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware."

    Also, I cannot adjust the display tracking or positioning when I am using the PC side of the computer.


DISCUSSION

    Apple is aware of an issue where you cannot use the APPLEVDO.INF file in the PC environment of a DOS Compatible Macintosh. Copy the .INF file to a PC-formatted floppy and when choosing have disk, point Windows to the floppy (A:) instead of the CD.

    When the display is connected correctly and the software is installed in the Macintosh environment of the computer, the front controls are bypassed in favor of using the Monitors and Sound control panel. This is why you cannot access the built-in controls from the PC environment of the computer.

    Temporarily disable the Monitors and Sound control panel by disabling the AppleVision extension, or disconnect the display ADB and start the Macintosh with the keyboard and mouse connected directly to the computer. Switch to the PC and adjust the display accordingly using the built-in controls on the front of the display. When finished activate the AppleVision extension, shut down, connect the ADB cabling, then restart.
