- 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.
