              BRAVO NB/ADVANTAGE EX VGASETUP UTILITY & MICROSOFT SHARE

    PROBLEM:       System lock ups occur when running the VGASETUP program
                   included with AST BRAVO NB and ADVANTAGE EX systems and the
                   Microsoft SHARE Program is loaded.

    CAUSE:         The VGASETUP program is not compatible with the Microsoft
                   SHARE program.

    SYSTEMS
    AFFECTED:      Bravo NB and Advantage EX systems.

    SOLUTION:      The VGASETUP program is an installation program that installs
                   the selected video drivers into the CONFIG.SYS file and copies
                   those drivers to the hard disk.  To avoid system lock-up,
                   remove the SHARE program before running VGASETUP.  After
                   running VGASETUP, the SHARE program can be reloaded and the
                   system will function normally.
