- There are two possibilities how to install the Windows drivers:
-
- 1) Using the SPEA V7SETUP (quick installation, update)
- 2) Using the Windows SETUP program (standard installation)
-
-
- 1) Via the SPEA V7SETUP (Quick Installation, Updating an older
- SPEA BigWin Driver)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- Start Windows and choose at the Program Manager:
- PROGRAM-RUN
- and type A:\V7SETUP.
- (Only when floppy disk installation, does not apply to CD ROM install.)
-
-
- 2) Via the Windows SETUP Program (Standard Installation)
- --------------------------------------------------------
- Exit Windows and start the program SETUP from the windows directory,
- choose at DISPLAY "Others", insert the new disk in the corresponding
- drive and press RETURN. Now follow the instructions given by the
- Windows SETUP program.
-
-
- Note: Updating any existing drivers via SPEA V7SETUP the icon SPEAview
- ===== will not installed automatically if you kill the SPEA/V7 group.
- Please refer the MicroSoft Windows documentation about information
- how to integrate this program into the program manager.
-
- Note: The BigWin driver uses VESA in some resolutions modes as well.
- ===== So, if VESA support is required, a small memory resident program
- should be executed.
- Copy from this disk the program V7MIRVBE.EXE on your harddisk and
- insert the program call in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- Note:
- ===== V7SETUP adds new line in SYSTEM.INI under title [CAD1K.DRV],
- BASEADDRESS=0, required for BigWin. Only if system has more
- than 32 MB RAM, SYSTEM.INI should be edited and this value
- be changed to 1.

- ║ SPEA V7SETUP: Tips / Known Restrictions ║
- ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
- 1) During first installation the driver will be installed with the
- lowest possible refresh rate at the chosen resolution.
- If you use a high-class multi-sync monitor and you choose a
- resolution 1024x768 and above, synchronisation problems may occur.
- To prevent this, please choose at first the resolution
- 640x480. Afterwards you can change to the preferred resolution and
- refresh rate with the utility V7SETUP, witch appears automatically
- after starting Windows.
-
- 2) Installing graphical drivers for Windows and Virus Check Programs
- Virus check programs, such as the DOS 6.0 internal one, which search
- for changes at *.exe and *.com files, detect changes at the file
- win.com after installing the SPEA V7 BigWin driver. This is not a
- virus, because while installing the driver, driver supplements will
- be saved in this file.
-
- 3) If you have a MIRAGE with BIOS 3.05 and you use RAMBIOS version
- 3.07 the frequenzes are not shown correctly by V7SETUP.

- ║ SPEA V7 BigWin Driver : Known Limitations ║
- ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
- 1) The SPEA V7 BigWin Driver may not be used in 80286 based
- systems.
-
- 2) VDD limitation: Cannot execute any VGA graphics modes in a
- windowed mode. The XGA driver supplied by Microsoft has a similiar
- limitation.
-
- 3) True Color:
- If you use more than 15 icons in one program group, a message will
- tell you that not all symbols are converted correctly. These symbols
- will be displayed in black. This is caused by a Microsoft Program
- Manager limitation.
-
- 4) If you use resolutions with 16 colors and you open a DOS Box
- you have problems with colors.
