Installation Instructions for The Orchid Technology
	 Vidiola, Vidiola PRO and Vidiola Premium video
		      Capture Card.
	
	   =================================

This readme will help users install the Vidiola PRO and 
Vidiola Premium into MS Windows 95.  If you have a Standard
Vidiola, these instructions do not apply to you.  

There are two scenarios for the Vidiola installation:

I)      The Vidiola is installed into Windows 3.1x, then the 
	operating system is upgraded to Windows 95.  

II)     The second case is when the Vidiola is being installed 
	into a machine where Windows 95 is already installed.  

Case I          

Upgrading System to Windows 95 with Vidiola PRO or Vidiola 
Premium already installed.
===========================================================

1)      Before upgrading Windows to Windows 95, record the 
	settings for the Vidiola card.  This is done by 
	starting the Vidiola Configuration manager and 
	selecting Hardware.  The recorded settings will be 
	needed later during the installation.

2)      Start the Windows 95 installation process.  During the 
	installation, you will be asked a series of questions, 
	one of the prompts will be for the type of 
	installation that you wish to do.  The choices from 
	the "SETUP OPTIONS" screen are "Typical, Portable, 
	Compact, Custom", select "Custom" and click on the 
	"Next" button.

3)      After a couple of more prompts you will be presented 
	with a "Analyzing Your Computer" prompt asking you if 
	"Do you want Setup to look for all hardware devices?", 
	the choices are: 

	"Yes (recommended"
	"No, I want to modify the hardware list"

	Select No and click on the "Next Button"

4)      From the "Hardware types" list, highlight 
	"Sound, MIDI, or Video Capture Card"

5)      From the "Manufacturer and Model" list, remove the 
	check mark from the "AuraVision VxP500 Compatible 
	Video Capture Adapter" and click on the "Next" button.

6)      Continue through the Windows 95 installation process.

7)      After Windows 95 is installed, reinstall the Vidiola 
	Pro or Premium drivers (following the instructions 
	from the manual).  You might experience some slight 
	color distortion, this will be resolved after the 
	drivers are reinstalled.

8)      Do not restart Windows

9)      Load the \WINDOWS\AVWIN.INI file into an editor and 
	edit the Offscreen=1 line ([AVSnoop] paragraph) so it 
	reads:

	Offscreen=0

10)     Run the Vidiola Pro or Premium Configuration manager 
	and select "Hardware" to Change the resource settings 
	to match the settings that were saved in Step 1.  The 
	Vidiola Configuration manager does not check resource 
	settings that are being used by other peripherals.  

11)     Restart Windows

Case II

Installing the Vidiola into a machine where Windows 95 is 
already installed.  
==========================================================

1)      Install the Vidiola into the computer following the 
	instructions from the users manual

2)      Boot machine into Windows 95

3)      Install the Vidiola Pro or Premium drivers into 
	Windows 95, do not restart Windows 95.  You might 
	experience slight color distortion, this will be 
	resolved after the drivers are loaded.

4)      Load the \WINDOWS\AVWIN.INI file into an editor and 
	edit the Offscreen=1 line ([AVSnoop] paragraph) so it 
	reads:

	Offscreen=0

5)      Run the Vidiola Pro or Premium Configuration manager 
	and select "Hardware" to change the resource settings 
	for the Vidiola.  The Vidiola Configuration manager 
	does not check resource settings that are being used 
	by other peripherals.  These settings will need to be 
	set manually in the software as well as changes made 
	to the Vidiola jumper settings.

6)      Restart Windows
