NEW 22201 Apple Studio Display and PC Compatibility Card
I have a PC Compatibility Card installed in my Macintosh and an Apple Studio Display 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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW 22205 Language Kit, Mac OS 8.1, and File Names
I upgraded my computer to Mac OS 8.1 and re-installed the Hebrew Language Kit and the upgrade. Now I cannot see Hebrew characters in file names. The manual says to define the Hermon font on the Views control panel. However, this control panel does not work with Mac OS 8.1 and the Appearance control panel only lets you select Charcoal or Chicago which does not support the Hebrew Language Kit. What can I do?
