Installing USB Tool for Windows 98/2000
=======================================

Note to Windows 2000 users: you must have administrator access
rights on your Windows 2000 system to install USB Tool for Windows
98/2000. You must also have administrator access rights to run 
the touchscreen control panel and video alignment applications.

Shutdown your computer and connect your touchmonitor as described
in the accompanying documentation.

A. If Windows STARTS the New Hardware Wizard
--------------======------------------------

   1. Choose Next. Select "Search for the best driver for
      your device (Recommended)" and Choose Next.

   2. When a list of search locations is displayed, place a
      checkmark on the floppy drive containing this USB Tool
      for Windows disk. Insert the disk into your floppy drive.
      (If the driver files have been copied to your hard drive or
      have been distributed on CD, place a checkmark on "Specify
      a location" and use Browse to select the directory
      containing the driver files.)

   3. Choose Next. Once the Elo TouchSystems USB Touchmonitor
      Interface driver has been detected choose Next again.

   4. If the "Digital Signature Not Found" dialog is displayed by
      Windows, click Yes to continue the installation. This
      version of USB Tool for Windows has not yet been tested by
      Microsoft, but has passed Elo software quality assurance
      tests.

   5. Wait while driver files are copied to your computer. Insert
      your Windows CD if prompted.

   6. Choose Finish. A program will automatically launch to
      align your touchmonitor. Touch each of the three targets
      as they appear on the screen. Click Yes when the cursor
      lines up correctly with your finger.

B. If Windows DOES NOT START the New Hardware Wizard
--------------==============------------------------

   1. Windows may find your Elo USB interface and may prompt you
      to restart your computer once again. Insert your Windows
      CD if prompted.

   2. After Windows loads, click the Start button, and then click
      Run.

   3. Click the Browse button to locate the setup.exe program on
      the floppy drive containing this USB Tool for Windows disk.
      Insert the disk into your floppy drive. (If the driver
      files have been copied to your hard drive or have been
      distributed on CD, use Browse to select the directory
      containing the driver files.)

      Highlight setup.exe and click Open, then OK to run
      setup.exe.

   4. Follow the directions on the screen.

   5. If the "Digital Signature Not Found" dialog is displayed by
      Windows, click Yes to continue the installation. This
      version of USB Tool for Windows has not yet been tested by
      Microsoft, but has passed Elo software quality assurance
      tests.

   6. Restart Windows when prompted. Make sure you remove any
      floppy disks. 

      The touchscreen video alignment program will automatically
      run when Windows starts up. Touch each of the three targets
      as they appear on the screen. Click Yes when the cursor
      lines up correctly with your finger.

=========================================
Uninstalling USB Tool for Windows 98/2000
=========================================

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click
   Control Panel.

2. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.

3. Select Elo USB Tool for Windows from the list of
   uninstallable programs on the Install/Uninstall tab.

4. Click the Add/Remove button then follow the directions on
   your screen.

5. Restart Windows to complete the uninstall process.

=================
HID Class Devices
=================

Because your Elo USB touchmonitor or touchscreen controller
conforms to the USB HID class specification, Windows 98/2000
supports it inherently with default HID class drivers. You 
may notice that a touch will move the Windows cursor even 
before you install this USB Tool for Windows.

However, you must install the USB Tool for Windows in order to
install and use the video alignment application (used to
correctly align your finger to the Windows cursor) and Elo
control panel.

=============
Release Notes
=============

- Windows 2000 only: you must have administrator access rights to
  run the Elo Touchscreen control panel and video alignment
  applications.

- The control panel and video alignment applications will report
  errors with one or more drivers if the 2.0 or 3.0 release of Elo
  MonitorMouse serial touch interface drivers are loaded along
  with the Elo USB Tool for Windows. These serial drivers do not
  have the appropriate version to function with these applications. 
  You can avoid these error messages by uninstalling the serial 
  drivers.

- Windows 98 may "blue screen" if any USB device is quickly
  unplugged and replugged multiple times. Again, this problem is
  not specific to the Elo USB Touchmonitor or USB tool drivers.
  Microsoft has corrected this bug in Windows 98 Second Edition
  and ME.

- A touch will not wake the system when in Stand-by power save
  mode. Move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard to return
  from Stand-by mode. Disable Stand-by mode in the Power
  Management control panel to avoid this issue when the USB
  touchscreen is your only input device.

- Full Screen DOS sessions are not supported. However, windowed
  DOS mode is fully supported. A touch to a full-screen DOS
  session will cause your system to immediately return to your
  Windows desktop. A mouse can be used to access programs run
  in a Full Screen DOS session.

==========================================
Enhancements and Bug Fixes in This Release
==========================================

- Added support for Windows Millennium.

==========
Known Bugs
==========

- The touchscreen will not work properly when the mouse is
  set for left-handed button configuration in the Mouse
  Properties control panel. Touch will always perform a right
  mouse function when the mouse is set for a left-handed
  user.

- If you press the Cancel button on the Elo Touchscreen
  control panel after using the Apply button, some of the
  applied settings will become un-applied.

- Uninstalling the driver will leave the following benign
  empty folder on your hard drive:

   C:\Program Files\Elotouch
