    That software is for older versions of OS X.  It is already in later versions, so you don't need to install anything.

    Do you have the display's USB cable connected to the computer?  It is needed for brightness control.

    hi i have Mountain Lion and i connected the display with USB cable attached... and still cant control brighness...

     

    the software i am looking for is supposed to update the firmware of the display, but as i picked up perhaps an old stock piece this firmware was not on the display itself.
