I) Running Star Wars Screen Entertainment
-----------------------------------------
You can run Star Wars Screen Entertainment by double-clicking on the Star
Wars Screen Entertainment Icon in the LucasArts Group.  You will also find a
Star Wars Screen Entertainment icon in your Control Panel, and you can
use this to run the program as well.


II) Running automatically when Windows starts
---------------------------------------------
To have Star Wars Screen Entertainment running on your desktop each time you
start Windows, put the Star Wars Screen Entertainment icon into your Startup
Group.  To do this, arrange your Program Manager windows so that both your
Startup group and the LucasArts group are visible.  Then, while holding the
Ctrl key, drag the Star Wars Screen Entertainment icon from the LucasArts
group and drop it into the Startup group.  A copy of the Star Wars Screen 
Entertainment icon should now appear in your Startup group.


III) Choice of display mode
---------------------------
Star Wars Screen Entertainment works best overall in 256 color mode. 
Monochrome mode, sixteen color mode, and color modes with a screen 
resolution of less than 640 x 480 pixels are not supported. Be aware that
in "High Color" or "True Color" modes, the memory requirements for the 
displayed graphics increases considerably (see section IV). 

The color mode for Windows can typically be changed by way of the Windows 
Setup program.  Consult the documentation that came with your computer or 
SVGA video card as well as your Windows documentation (see "Setup Program")
for details about changing video display modes.

(Note: Refer to the section V of this README file for information about 
installing the included Microsoft "Generic" SVGA video drivers).


IV) Use of Microsoft's Win-G Video Performance Library
------------------------------------------------------
Star Wars Screen Entertainment is configured to use the Win-G video 
performance library recently offered by Microsoft.  If Win-G has not 
previously been configured for your system, a "Display Test" window may 
appear the first time some of the Star Wars Screen Entertainment modules 
run.  This display test may take several minutes, and cannot be interrupted.
This display test will only occur once, unless you change display drivers or
otherwise update your video system, or update Win-G.

Note: Win-G does not support high-color or true-color modes and will not 
configure itself unless you are running in 256-color mode. This means that
you will only get Win-G enhanced performance in 256-colors and we strongly 
recommend that you use this mode. 

Win-G should offer superior performance.  However, if you prefer not to run
the modules under Win-G support, you can modify the SWSE.INI file found in
your Windows directory, using NOTEPAD or another text editor.  In this file,
there is a heading marked [Technology]. Under this heading, modify the
DibBlit entry to read as follows:

	DibBlit = GDI


This will disable the use of the Win-G video performance library.  To re-
enable Win-G, change the DibBlit entry to:

	DibBlit = WinG


V) Using the "Generic" SVGA drivers from Microsoft
--------------------------------------------------
Microsoft's "Generic" SVGA support drivers offer excellent performance on
many VESA-compatible SVGA video cards.  You may wish to install these
drivers if you do not have a 256 color driver, or as an alternate to the
256 color driver that your system may now be using.

As a convenience, a self-extracting archive containing these drivers is
included on disk #1 of the Star Wars Screen Entertainment install disks.
These drivers are NOT automatically installed by the Install program.

To install these drivers, copy the SVGA.EXE program from disk 1 of the
Install disks onto a blank floppy disk, and run the program from the DOS
prompt.  The self-extracting archive file will decompress and extract the
installation files for the new Windows drivers.  Label this new disk SVGA
OEMSETUP Disk.  

Note: Some VESA-compatible SVGA video cards require a TSR or device driver
loaded before they can display VESA video (usually called VESA.COM,
VESA.EXE, UNIVESA.EXE or something similar).  Please check the documentation
that came with your video card for information about its support of the VESA
standard.

Please look at the README.TXT and DISPLAY.TXT files that are included with
your drivers on the OEMSETUP disk, as these files may contain important
information for your particular system.

You can now use Windows Setup, either from outside Windows by typing SETUP
at the DOS prompt (from the Windows  directory), or from the Windows Setup
program found in the MAIN group of the Program Manager.  Select "Other
Display"  from the list of display drivers, and insert your SVGA OEMSETUP
disk as indicated by the prompts.

(For more information about changing video drivers, refer to your Windows
documentation, under "Setup Program").

VI) Known video card incompatibilities
--------------------------------------
There are known incompatibilities with Intermission and the following video
cards:
	ATI w/Mach 32 chipset
	Genoa w/Cirrus Logic chipset
	Cirrus Logic CR-54XX chipset
	Compaq SVGA
Here are some tips to avoid problems related to the above incompatibilities:
 
ATI Mach 32:
You may encounter a General Protection Fault in MACH32.DRV when running Star
Wars Screen Entertainment. This is a rare occurrence and is mostly
associated with "High-color" or "True-color" modes because of their large
memory requirements.  Also, we recommend using Mach32 driver version 2.2,  
we've found it to be more reliable than version 2.3.  

You can avoid this by choosing a 256 color mode (using the Mach 32 utility
that came with your video card), as well as closing any memory hungry
programs before running Star Wars Screen Entertainment. 
 
Genoa, Cirrus Logic, Compaq:
If you experience lock-ups or General Protection Faults, with one of these
video cards, you may be able to correct this by using the "Generic" Windows
SVGA drivers included on disk #1 of the install disks (See section V of this
readme).
 
Note to Packard Bell owners: Packard Bell multimedia systems typically use
the Cirrus Logic chipset. Our test lab's Packard Bell would consistently
encounter a General Protection Fault whenever attempting to initialize
Win-G.  There are updated Cirrus Logic drivers available for your computer
that are more compatible with Win-G.  You may obtain these drivers from
Packard Bell to update your system.  
                  -OR-
You may instead use the "Generic" SVGA drivers provided (See section V of
this readme).  However, the "Generic" SVGA drivers may only work in 
640 X 480 resolution on the Packard Bell. 

Most video card manufacturers release regular updates of their drivers to
fix known conflicts.  It is a good idea keep your system updated by         
obtaining the latest drivers from your video card manufacturer on a regular
basis. 


VII) MIDI music
---------------
Star Wars Screen Entertainment contains four high-quality MIDI 
instrumentation files for playing music.  The results you hear on your
system depend upon the configuration of the MIDI device, if any, you use on
your system.  If you have chosen the installation options for MIDI music
according to the type of MIDI device or sound card that you have and the
music does not sound correct, you may want to try installing one of the
other choices instead. If the music is still incorrect, then you may need to
adjust your particular MIDI configuration through the MIDI Mapper program 
(accessible via the Windows Control Panel).  Consult your Windows
documentation and the documentation for your sound card before making
changes to the MIDI Mapper.  

By running INSTALL.EXE from Star Wars Screen Entertainment disk #1, you can
choose the correct MIDI files for your soundcard.  This will only require
the first disk.  You may also choose to reinstall the sound effects or
module files.

Changing the volume setting on the Intermission control panel will only
affect the volume of sound effects, not the music volume setting.  However,
if you set the volume setting to OFF, then music will also be disabled.


VIII)  Notes about Windows and MIDI
-----------------------------------
Due to problems in the way Windows handles MIDI, under certain conditions
you may experience a General Protection Fault in one of these MIDI system
files: MEMMIDI.DLL, MMSYSTEM.DLL, or MIDIMAP.DRV.  This is mostly associated
with playing MIDI music for extended periods of time while the system is low
on resources.  To minimize the chance of this occuring, configure the music
in each module to play 'Once'(Default), or 'Never'.

If you are still experiencing problems, run the install program on disk #1
(see README section VII), and select 'No sound' from the MIDI Music Support
Options menu.  This will disable all of the MIDI functions of Intermission.

      
IX)  MIDI players
-----------------
If you are going to be playing or editing MIDI files (with any MIDI program,
such as Windows Media Player), be sure to disable Star Wars Screen
Entertainment so that they do not conflict with each other.


X)  Sound Blaster Pro 2 MIDI Mapper setup
-----------------------------------------
If you are using a Sound Blaster Pro 2 (with the OPL-3 FM  synthesizer), you
must follow these steps to take advantage of the OPL-3 enhanced MIDI music
files included with Star Wars Screen Entertainment.  

First, you must select the proper MIDI selection (Sound Blaster Pro 2 OPL-3)
during install (See section VI).  Next, you must change your MIDI Mapper
setup to Extended FM.  To do this, click on the MIDI Mapper icon in the
Windows Control Panel and the MIDI Mapper dialog box will appear.  Click on
the arrow to the right of 'SBP2 Basic FM' and highlight 'SBP2 Ext FM'.  Now
click the 'Close' button.

You should now hear the Enhanced MIDI files next time you run Star Wars
Screen Entertainment.

If you do not wish to alter your MIDI Mapper setup, you can configure Star
Wars Screen Entertainment to play Base level MIDI files instead. Do this by
reinstalling Star Wars Screen Entertainment and selecting 'Soundblaster or
Adlib OPL-2' from the MIDI Music Support Options menu.  (See section VII).  
  

XI)  Activating changes on the Intermission dialog
--------------------------------------------------
Changes made to settings in the Star Wars Screen Entertainment 
(Intermission) control panel, such as 'Volume', or 'Blank After', or 'Wake
Up On' may not take full effect until you click on the OK button to close
the dialog box.


XII) If you have previously installed versions of Intermission
--------------------------------------------------------------
Star Wars Screen Entertainment uses the screen saver technology of Delrina's
Intermission.  If you have another Intermission product installed on your
computer, you should install Star Wars Screen Entertainment into the same
directory (which is the default choice offered by the install program).  By
doing this, all of your previously existing screen savers will be available
at the same time as the Star Wars Screen Entertainment modules. 


XIII) Other screen savers
-------------------------
If you are currently using a different screen saver product on your
computer, you may need to disable or remove it before using Star Wars Screen
Entertainment to avoid potential conflicts.


XIV) Power management software
------------------------------
Some computers are equipped with power management software which will cause
their computers to "sleep" if unattended, or to automatically blank the
monitor's display.  This software will interfere with or obscure the
performance of Star Wars Screen Entertainment. 


XV) Removing and re-installing modules
--------------------------------------
If the sad day should occur when you need to remove some of your Star Wars
Screen Entertainment modules, you may remove them by using the Intermission
control panel.  First, highlight the module that you wish to remove, then
click the "Remove" button.  To install individual modules again later, just
run the Install program from the original disks, and  then check only those
modules that you wish to install.

If you do not want music, you may delete the four .MID files from the saver
directory. These files can be re-installed individually using the Install
program.

If you do not want sound effects, you may delete the SWSFX.DLL file from the
saver directory.  This can be re-installed using the Install program.


XVI) Uninstalling Star Wars Screen Entertainment
------------------------------------------------
If you have the need to remove Star Wars Screen Entertainment from your
system you may use the instructions that follow.  They will guide you
through uninstalling Intermission, the Star Wars Screen Entertainment
modules, and Microsoft Win-G.  It is assumed that you are a moderate to
advanced user.  If you are not sure how to do this, consult your DOS and/or
Windows manuals.
 
Note: If you have other Intermission modules that you do not 
      wish to delete, refer to section XIV.

    a)To remove Intermission and all modules, first delete the 
      C:\SAVER directory and all of its contents.
    
    b)In your SYSTEM.INI file, under the [386Enh] section, delete
      the following line:
      
       device=anthook.386

    c)In your WIN.INI file, under the [Windows] section, change the
      line:
       
       load=C:\SAVER\INTERMIS
            to
       load=
      
      Note: If there are any programs in addition to INTERMIS, that follow
      the "load=" statement, be sure to leave them intact as they are needed
      by your system. 
    
    d)In your C:\WINDOWS directory, delete these files:
      
       LUCASART.GRP
       SWSE.INI
       ANTSW.INI
    
    e)In your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, delete the following file:

       ANTHOOK.386   

Intermission and Star Wars Screen Entertainment should now be successfully
removed from your system. 

If you wish to remove Win-G from your system you must do the following:
(Although, we recommend that do not remove Win-G from your system because
you may have other applications that require it).
    
    a)Delete the following files from your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory. 
 
       WING.DLL
       WINGDE.DLL
       WING32.DLL
       WINGDIB.DRV

    b)In your WIN.INI file, delete the [WinG] section as follows.  
      (Depending on your video card, the following lines may differ).

       [WinG]
       mach-86.drv1280x1024x8(0,0)v3.10.0.103-0.0.0.27=AAGFDCGFAAGFGCGFBBEED
       mach-80.drv1280x1024x8(0,0)v3.10.0.103-0.0.0.27=AAGFDCGFAAGFDCGFBBEED
       MACH-86.DRV640x480x8(0,0)v3.10.0.103-0.0.0.27=AAGFDCGFAAGFDCGFBBEEDDE

    c)In your SYSTEM.INI file [386Enh] section, delete the line:
       
       device=dva.386

IMPORTANT: 'DEVICE=DVA.386' is required by Microsoft Video for Windows as 
well as Microsoft Win-G.  Before you remove it, make sure it is not needed
by your system.   
 

XVII) Text sound
---------------- 
All of the text modules (Blueprints, Cantina, Character Biographies, Poster
Art, and Storyboards) have a looping sound effect that accompanies the text.
Some sound cards are known to have problems with looping digital sound under
Windows. For this reason, the text sound in these modules defaults to OFF.
If you wish, you may enable the text sound by checking the Text Sound box in
the Configure dialog for each module.  If you experience sound problems in
these modules, simply switch Text Sound back to OFF.


XVIII) Intermission won't go to sleep
-------------------------------------
If you experience difficulty making Intermission fall asleep, try turning
off "Wake up on KEY PRESS or MOUSE MOVE".  To do this, click the "Unfold"
button on the Intermission control panel, then click the appropriate box.


XIX) Networks
-------------
If you are on a network, and experience difficulty running Star Wars Screen
Entertainment, you may wish to temporarily disable the network software.

 
XX) Games
---------
Some modern games utilize the video card in ways that may conflict with
other programs, including screen saver products.  If you experience
undesirable results from Star Wars Screen Entertainment while a playing
game, you may wish to disable it during your gaming session.


XXI) Using TrueType fonts with the Scrolling Text module
--------------------------------------------------------
Scrolling Text was designed to support TrueType fonts up to 48 point.  If 
you use fonts larger than 48 point, undesirable effects may result.  Bold
and Italic also affect font size, and when used in conjunction with 48 point
fonts (or larger), they may also cause problems.


XXII) General notes
-------------------
As a good rule of thumb, if you intend to leave your computer running
unattended for a long period of time, you should save any work in progress
before leaving.
