SUMMARY
The Micro Display Systems Genius 420 Monitor is a full-page monochrome monitor and adapter. This monitor requires a special video driver, supplied by Ran-Ger Technologies, Inc., to operate properly with Microsoft Windows version 3.0.

To obtain this driver, contact Ran-Ger Technologies. The file is available as a self-extracting executable called GIWIN3.EXE.

MORE INFORMATION
The Genius Monitor may be used with Windows 3.0 without the Micro Display Systems driver if you do the following:


 * 1) Put the Genius Monitor in CGA mode. In the Genius directory on the hard disk, there is a file named VHR.COM. Run this program by typing VHR CGA to put the Genius Monitor in CGA mode.
 * 2) Add the command VHR CGA to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file or run this program before you run Windows.
