 2. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

    To update your Sound Blaster software, follow the steps below:

      a. Copy any of the files that you want to update (as shown in
         section 1) onto a floppy disk or a directory in your hard
         disk.

      b. Run the program INSTALL.EXE.

      c. The installation will detect the Audio card used and will not
         extract that file if it is not meant for the Audio card.

      d. Follow the program's instructions to complete the installation.


3. INSTALL's OPERATION

INSTALL will perform the following tasks:

  a. Back-up all out-dated files from your Sound Blaster directory to
     the BACKUP directory.

  b. Install updated programs to your Sound Blaster directory.

  c. Update the file OEMSETUP.INF if necessary.

If you choose to update the drivers in your Windows directory, the
program will perform the following tasks:

  a. Remove all out-dated drivers from your Windows directory.

  b. Install updated drivers to your Windows directory.

  c. Verify that the file SYSTEM.INI contains the correct name of the
     Sound Blaster driver.

At the end of the installation, a log file SBUPDATE.LOG will be
created in your Sound Blaster directory.  You may use a text editor
to view this file.  Alternatively, you may follow the steps below:

     a. Change to your Sound Blaster directory.

     b. Type "TYPE SBUPDATE.LOG" and press <Enter>.


4. UPDATED FILES
