-
- 5. Known Problems
-
- 5.1 RUNman
-
- With Central Point PC Tools for Windows the standard hotkey
- <Ctrl-Shift-Ins> to add symbols to RUNman does not work.
-
- There is the same problem with the HP Dashboard. Use drag & drop
- to add symbols to RUNman (drag the symbol with the mouse and
- drop it into the RUNman window).
-
-
- 5.2 SCREENman
-
- Using Windows for Workgroups 3.11 there may appear some
- problems with the multi I/O chip FDC37C665 from SMC. After
- choosing an interface the system may halt. This error can be
- avoided by changing the file COMM.DRV with the COMM.DRV from
- Windows 3.1.
-
- The variable color temperature of the GDM-20H110 can be modified
- only with the front panel of the monitor. With "Cancel" the
- value for the color temperature cannot be written back, the
- choice in SCREENman is valid.
