                 Video Blaster SE100 LATEST INFORMATION
                 ======================================

This  file  contains information not available during the printing  of
the  manual.   Please read all the sections below before  you  proceed
with any installation procedure.


This file contains the following sections:

     1.   Software Installation
     2.   Setting up for different DOS video modes with SE100SET.


1.   SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

     The   installation   program,  INSTALL.EXE   will   modify   your
     AUTOEXEC.BAT  file.  If you have Microsoft Windows 3.1  installed
     in  your  system, you can optionally select to modify WIN.INI  to
     include  the  command to setup the drivers and  applications  for
     Video  Blaster  SE100 the next time you start up  Windows.   Your
     original files will be renamed with a .B~K extension.
     
     After the installation has completed you may proceed to test your
     Video Blaster SE100 card with the program SE100TST.EXE located in
     the \VBSE100 directory.
     
     If  you allowed the installation program to add a command to your
     WIN.INI, the program  WINSETUP.EXE  will be run the next time you
     start  up  Windows.  If you  had not, you may  use the  following
     steps to run WINSETUP.EXE.
          
        i.   Start Microsoft Windows 3.1.
          
        ii.  From the FILE menu in Program Manager, choose RUN.
          
        iii. Type "C:\VBSE100\WINSETUP" and press ENTER.  Note: if you
             had  installed  the  Video Blaster SE100  software into a
             directory  other than `VBSE100' on drive  C,  replace the
             "C:\VBSE100" above with its full drive and directory name.
          
        iv.  Follow  the  instructions  on the screen to complete  the
             installation.
          

2.   SETTING UP FOR DIFFERENT DOS VIDEO MODES WITH SE100SET.

     By default, SE100SET sets up the video alignment for the standard
     VGA  640x480x16 colors mode.  It can also be run to  set  up  the
     alignment for a few other common VGA modes.  These modes are:
     
     a)   Text mode (80x25 columns)
     b)   640x480x256 colors
     c)   800x600x16 colors
     d)   800x600x256 colors
     
     To  set  up  the  video  alignment in one of  these  modes,  type
     SE100SET  <parameter>   at  the command line,  where  <parameter>
     should be one of the following:
     
     /T   for 80x25 columns text mode
     /G0  for 640x480x16 colors (the default mode)
     /G1  640x480x256 colors
     /G2  800x600x16 colors
     /G3  800x600x256 colors
     
     For example, to set up for 800x600x256 colors, type the following
     at the DOS command line:
     
          SE100SET /G3
     
     Note that the same set of alignment values are used under DOS and
     Windows,  so  if  you have set up the video alignment  using  the
     Video Blaster SE100 Setup Windows program, you need not set it up
     again under DOS.
     
     Also  note  that the SE100DOS.EXE application (which  runs  under
     DOS),  uses the 640x480x256 color mode.  So if you find that  the
     video  is misaligned when running that application, exit from  it
     and run SE100SET /G1 to adjust the alignments.
