III. Installing the drivers
---------------------------

   1. Start Windows v3.1.

      list:

            MIDI Mapper
            Timer
            [MCI] CD Audio
            [MCI] MIDI Sequencer
            [MCI] Sound

      If you have other drivers installed, please remove them with the
      REMOVE button and restart Windows before continuing.  If any of these
      drivers are not listed, please add them before continuing.  (See your
      Windows manual for details on adding these drivers.)  Make sure you
      restart Windows after making changes to the driver list.
   
   4. Click on the ADD button.

   9. Windows will prompt you for the Sound Blaster I/O address.  The default
      I/O address is 220H.  If you have changed the jumper on your card to
      240H, then select 240H.

  10. Windows will ask if you want to restart your system.  Click on
      DON'T RESTART, then repeat steps 4, 5, 6, and 7.

      DMA channel. Choose the settings your card is set to and continue on.

  17. Windows will ask if you want to restart your system.  Click on
      RESTART.  Windows will then restart.


IV. What to do if the drivers don't install correctly
-----------------------------------------------------

   If you are having problems installing the drivers, here are some things to
   check before you call Technical Support.  Also, be sure to read the
   "Important Notes" section below.

** 1. If you installed Windows 3.1 using the "Express Installation,"  Windows
      scanned your hard disk for programs to be installed.  As a result, older

      versions of the Jukebox, and Mixer were installed if they were on your
      hard disk at the time of installation.  Please remove these icons.  To
      do this, click on the icon once to select it, then press the delete key.
      Windows will ask you for confirmation.  Repeat for each icon.

   2. Open the Driver applet in Control panel.  You should at least have the
      following driver names in the Installed Drivers list:

            Creative Sound Blaster Pro Auxiliary Audio
            Creative Sound Blaster Pro Wave and MIDI
	    Voyetra / Sound Blaster SuperSAPI FM Drivers 
            MIDI Mapper
            Timer
            [MCI] MIDI Sequencer
            [MCI] Sound

      If one or more of these drivers do not exist, you must install the
      driver(s) using the Driver applet in Control Panel (See the Windows
      manual for more details).

   4. Check your SYSTEM.INI by choosing RUN from the File menu of the Program
      Manager, and typing SYSEDIT in the command line box.  Examine the
      [drivers] and [sndblst.drv] sections.  They should look something like
      this:

              [drivers]
              Timer=timer.drv
              Midimapper=midimap.drv
              Aux=sbpaux.drv
              MIDI=sbp2fm.drv
              Wave=sbpsnd.drv
              MIDI1=sbpsnd.drv

              [sndblst.drv]
              port=220
              int=5
              dmachannel=1

   5. If Windows refuses to install a device driver or you get the error
      message "Device not found" when playing a Wave or MIDI file or a
      CD, be sure you have the following settings in the [mci] section of
      SYSTEM.INI

              [mci]
              WaveAudio=mciwave.drv
              Sequencer=mciseq.drv
              CDAudio=mcicda.drv

      If one or more of these do not exist, you must install the driver(s)
      using the Driver applet in Control Panel (See the Windows manual for
      instructions).  Do not type in the entries into the SYSTEM.INI because
      the files have to be installed into your SYSTEM directory by Windows.


V. If you upgraded from Windows 3.0 to Windows 3.1
--------------------------------------------------

   If you upgraded an existing copy of Windows 3.0 or Windows 3.0 with
   Multimedia Extensions to Windows 3.1, here are some special notes to
   consider.

   1. If you have a line which reads "device=vsbd.386" in the [386Enh] section
      of SYSTEM.INI, please delete it.  This is an old driver which has been
      replaced by VSBPD.386.  The new driver will not work correctly until this
      line is removed.

   2. Delete the file SBPMIXER.CPL in the Windows SYSTEM directory.  It is no
      longer being supported.  The new SBPMIXER.EXE is now used instead and is
      loaded automatically when you install the Sound Blaster drivers.

   3. After installing Windows 3.1, verify that the latest SBPMIXER.EXE,
      SBP2FM.DRV, SBPAUX.DRV and SBPSND.DRV have been copied to your hard
      disk.  You can delete any older versions that you find in your system.


VI. Important notes
-------------------
                          * * * * * * * * * * * * *
                          *   I M P O R T A N T   *
                          * * * * * * * * * * * * *

   1. The drivers found in the file CREATE.EXE on Microsoft's BBS and in the
      Microsoft Forum on CompuServe are not the latest drivers for Windows 3.1
      and may not work properly.  Please do not use them.

   2. The drivers that are included with the Windows 3.1 Resource Kit are not
      the latest drivers and may not work properly.  Please do not use them.

   3. We are including drivers that make use of Device Virtualization.  These
      drivers will allow DOS Apps that use the Sound Blaster to run in Enhanced
      Mode.

      Please make sure that a line reading "device=vsbpd.386" exists under the
      [386Enh] section in your SYSTEM.INI.  If you have a line which reads
      "device=vsbd.386", please delete it.  Also, make sure the file VSBPD.386
      is in your Windows SYSTEM directory.  If it is not, copy it from the
      Drivers Disk.

   4. The Windows 3.1 drivers can now be used in both Windows 3.0 with
      Multimedia extensions as well as Windows 3.1.  They will check the
      Windows version and use the correct Sound Blaster section name to access
      the settings in the SYSTEM.INI.

   5. A MIDI-MAP has been created to make use of the SBP2FM.DRV, please use the
      MIDI MAPPER icon under Control Panel to customize it to your requirements.

      Under Windows 3.1, MIDI channel 10 is referenced as the drum channel.
      If you are having problems with the FM synth not sounding "right", try
      modifying the configuration with the MIDI Mapper.

      The following is a list of the existing MIDI Map configurations and how
      they are mapped:
                 
                 Input    Output   Output              Input    Output   Output
      Map Name   Channel  Channel  Port     Map Name   Channel  Channel  Port
