Known Problems 5.1 RUNman With Central Point PC Tools for Windows the standard hotkey 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.
