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


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 SE the next time you startup Windows.  Your original
   files will be renamed with a .B~K extension.
  
   The procedure for installation is as follows.
   
   a. Run  the program INSTALL.EXE from DOS prompt.  This program can
      be found on Disk #1.
   
   b. Select "Begin Installation" and follow the instructions on  the
      screen.
   
   c. Quit the installation program when it completes successfully.
   
   d. REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM.
   
   e. You  may  proceed to test your Video Blaster SE card  with  the
      program VBSETEST.EXE located in the \VBSE 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  startup  Windows.  Optionally  you  may  follow  the
      following steps to run WINSETUP.EXE.
   
      i.   Startup Microsoft Windows 3.1.
   
      ii.  From the FILE menu in Program Manager, choose RUN.
   
      iii. Type "C:\VBSE\WINSETUP" and press ENTER, assuming that you
           installed Video Blaster SE software onto drive C.
   
      iv.  Follow  the instructions  on  the  screen  to complete the
           installation.
