Well, one thing you want to do is disable any other programs you have in
the background (that includes programs that go in the clock box).
Also, disable the key combos you're likely to press, like Alt-Tab.
A big thing may be to make sure you run SW A) maximized, B) full-screen,
and C) with the mouse in exclusive mode). That way you'll make sure it has
top priority.
Don't forget too, you'll want to disable the "always suspend" feature and
such.
Hope this helps!
