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.
