S1  Note that the button 'Start with Windows' inside SPEAview may not be 
    active! If SPEAview is active, Seamless Windows is not available - 
    even not under VGA.
    Note: When using the dual boot system with OS/2 and DOS, when both 
    systems have access to the same Windows version, the Autostart button
    has to be deactivated under DOS Windows.
  
S2  The SPEA logo can be deactivated beginning with the BigBlue Version 
    2.02 upwards by entering the line SET SPEALOGO=OFF in the CONFIG.SYS 
    file.  

S3  - If the BigBlue driver is active with a V7 SPEA board and you want to
    install another VGA board, proceed as follows:
    Select "System Configuration" and start the program "Adjust
    Installation".
    Select the "primary screen" and "VGA" and follow the instructions on
    the screen.
    - If the selected refresh rate is too high selected during the BigBlue 
    configuration and the montitor doesn't synchronize anymore after a 
    restart, then proceed as follows:
    After starting OS/2 you will see an OS/2 icon in the upper left corner 
    of the screen. Click on it with your mouse cursor and press ALT+F1 
    simultaneously and select the standard VGA configuration in the 
    following menu.
       
S4  The entries for the VGA driver in the SYSTEM.INI file are not
    changed when updating the OS/2 driver. This stops Windows applications
    from being started.
    During the installation, switch the option 'Transfer all settings to
    Win-OS/2 fullscreen session' off. The Windows seamless support will
    then be correctly transferred.
