the monitor receives the initiate command from this software, the application again becomes idle,
consuming few if any system resources. On rare occasions when a memory-hungry application pushes
system resources to their limit, LightFrame™ can be easily exited to free up additional resources.
Q: Can I highlight two or more areas in the screen at the same time?
A: No. Monitor hardware processes only a single rectangular area.
Q: I get a message warning that my monitor 'may not support LightFrame™. I am certain my
monitor does. What is wrong?
A: Only a Philips driver can determine if your monitor is equipped with LightFrame™; a generic Windows
driver cannot. Install the special Philips driver that came with your monitor. If the warning continues to
appear after your Philips driver is installed, ignore the message. LightFrame™ will function properly. You
can avoid seeing the message by checking Dont show this message again.
Q: Is LightFrame™ software or hardware-based?
A: LightFrame™ consists of two important components: a chip in the monitor and software to control this
chip. Therefore, LightFrame™ is a seamless interactive combination of both software and hardware.
LightFrame™ 2 and the Internet
Q: Can I use LightFrame™ to browse the Internet?
A: Yes. Integration with Internet Explorer is one of LightFrame™s neatest new features. Now when you
open a Web page, LightFrame™ 2 scans LightFrame™ scans the document for a photo or video and
highlights suitable material. Note: When more than one photo is displayed on a Web page, LightFrame™
highlights the largest. If multiple photos are the same size, LightFrame™ highlights top leftmost one. You
can select a different photo manually. Heres how: Click the LightFrame™ On/Off button. Then hold
down the left mouse button and drag a frame around the photo. When you release the mouse button, the
selected area is highlighted by LightFrame™.
Q: Can I use LightFrame™ with Netscape?
A: You can use LightFrame™ with Netscape, but its functions are limited to manually highlighting the entire
Netscape client window. Since LightFrame™ is specifically designed for bright, high contrast photo and
video display, highlighting an entire Web page -- including text -- is not recommended.
For best results, we recommend you use LightFrame™ with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or
higher. You can downloaded Internet Explorer free of charge from the Microsoft website
(www.microsoft.com). A copy of Internet Explorer 5.5 is also included on the CD-ROM shipped with your
monitor.
Q: Will the highlighted area remain highlighted when I open a cached Web page stored locally on my
computer?
A: Yes. When a Web page is loaded in Internet Explorer, LightFrame™ scans the document for a photo or
video and highlights suitable material. If LightFrame™ finds a photo or video in an online Web page, it will
highlight the same object when the page is opened from a local cache.
Q: On some Web pages, LightFrame™ activates automatically; on others, it doesnt. Why?
A: Computers are smart, but youre smarter! When a Web page loads, LightFrame™ automatically seeks
out photos or videos. Although the human eye has no problem picking out photos or videos on a busy
Web page, some special backgrounds and borders confuse LightFrame™. Heres why: To comply
with the science of cathode ray tube design, LightFrame™ is trained to locate and highlight rectangular
