║ SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS Graphic CARD : General Remarks ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
The V7-VEGA PLUS graphic card is a product that offers significantly
enhanced features compared to other standard VGA graphic and
accelerator boards.
This particularly applies to
- higher resolutions and
- higher refresh rates.
Please be aware that you can only take full advantage of the
features provided by the V7-VEGA PLUS, if the other components of
your system, especially the graphic monitor that is being used,
also comply with the specifications of the V7-VEGA PLUS.
(Example : The resolution 1280x1024 that is supported by the
SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS can obviously not be used with a monitor that
is specified to only support resolutions up to 1024x768.)
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ Windows Driver Installation ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
For installing the SPEA V7 Windows driver 'BigWin':
Select the menu items 'File' and then 'Run' in the Windows Program
Manager. Then enter:
a) (Drivers for Windows Disk) b) (Media Gallery-CD)
A:\V7SETUP <CD drive>:SPEAINST
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ Monitor Selection ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
As already mentioned above, the graphic monitor used with the
SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS must comply to the specifications of
the SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS. Only then can the full functionality
of the SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS be used.
*** IMPORTANT ***
Please only select parameters that your monitor is specified for.
Your monitor may be seriously damaged, if it is constantly driven
with parameters which are not within the range of its specification.
If you change your monitor you have to compare the specification
and, if necessary, to change the resolutions / refresh rates!

║ Known Limitations ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
(1) It is not possible to use two or more VGA boards in one PC at
the same time.
In case you want to use the V7-VEGA PLUS board in a PC that has a
VGA interface integrated on the motherboard, then this integrated
VGA interface must be disabled before the V7-VEGA PLUS may be used.
(2) In some PCI PCs you may reboot (cold restart) your computer twice
if the SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS is installed in a PCI motherboard slot
of such systems.
(3) Some applications such as Windows 3.1, and others offer
"Video 7 ..." display interfaces
in their configuration programs.
These options should NOT be selected when using the
SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS.
Please follow the instructions given in the user's manual to
guarantee that the optimum configuration for the SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS
is being installed.
(4) To keep the compatibility to a lot of monitors, the
SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS has the possibility do create low refreshrates
at high pixel resolutions. Synchronisation problems may in this case
occure with high-class multi-sync monitors. To prevent this, please
choose the highest horizontal frequenzy as possible with your monitor.
