SUMMARY
=======

Early version of the Creative Labs' Multimedia Extensions to Windows Setup
program does not add certain entries to the SYSTEM.INI, which are necessary for
the Sound Blaster Pro audio card to work properly. Because of this error,
Bookshelf for Windows may not play MIDI audio files correctly.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To correct the problem, add the following lines to the SYSTEM.INI. The
individual parameters will be dependent upon the actual settings on the board.
The factory default settings are listed below:
