After Windows loads, click the Start button, and then click Run. 5. Click the Browse button to locate the setup.exe program in the directory containing the driver install files. Click Open, then OK to run setup.exe. 6. Follow the directions on the screen to complete the Setup program. 7. Restart your computer when prompted. The touchscreen calibration program will automatically run when Windows starts up. Touch each of the three targets as they appear on the screen.

Restart Windows NT when prompted to complete the uninstall process. ============= Release Notes ============= - To enable the "2-wire", no-handshaking mode, set the following DWORD registry key to 0 using regedit.exe: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services \Monmouse\TouchscreenXX\Parameters\HardwareHandShaking where "TouchscreenXX" is the registry section for the touchscreen for which the no-handshaking mode is to be enabled. - Because serial communications services are not available until late in the Windows NT 4.0 startup process, the touchscreen will not begin to function for several seconds after the Windows NT logon dialog is displayed. ========================================== Enhancements and Bug Fixes in This Release ========================================== - A new setup program was created to automate installation of the MonitorMice drivers and to configure up to 4 touchmonitors for use on a single Windows NT Workstation. The new setup program automatically prompts you to uninstall any previous installation of MonitorMice before continuing. - The control panel was resized to fit completely on a 640 x 480 display. - A control panel problem that displayed incorrect text when run on international versions of Windows NT was corrected. - Elo DOS-based diagnostic applications are now copied to the default \ELOWINNT\DIAGS directory on the Windows NT drive. The location can be overridden by the user if a different directory is selected when running the Setup program. - A bug was corrected that sometimes caused the system to hang during periods of extremely high disk or network I/O activity. - Added logic to Elocal32.exe to wait for the monmouse.sys driver to be loaded by the system. The setup program was modified to automatically launch Elocal32.exe after reboot. - The new Setup program will install the system mouse class driver required by the MonitorMice driver, MOUCLASS.SYS, if it is not already installed. The program will prompt the user for their Windows NT Workstation install CD in order to copy the driver file. - The Windows NT 4.0 beep service (BEEP.SYS) is no longer required for the touchscreen driver to correctly load. - A bug was corrected that always turned beep on after video alignment regardless of the control panel beep on/off setting. - A bug was corrected that always made the cursor visible after video alignment regardless of the control panel cursor on/off setting. - The calibration logic was enhanced to properly align touch with your video display even when the video image is not fully within the active area of the touch sensor. - The driver no longer flags lack of NVRAM on the touch controller as hardware error in the control panel. - Serial communications handshaking logic (and logic used when handshaking is disabled) was modified to match operation of other Elo drivers. ========== Known Bugs ========== - The touchscreen control panel always displays "1" for the touchscreen COM port even if another COM port is actually in use. This bug does not affect the usage of this control to change the touchscreen COM port. - It's easy to lose track of the touchscreen control panel if it is open on the Windows desktop, but underneath other windows. Relaunching the touchscreen control panel does not make the control panel visible. Instead, use Alt-Tab or the Taskbar to force the control panel to the top of the desktop. - The Apply and Cancel buttons in the touchscreen control panel do not follow the accepted standard Windows conventions for functionality of these buttons in a control panel. The Apply button is not always available after modifying control panel options. The Cancel button doesn't cancel some settings that take effect immediately. ============== Contacting Elo ============== www.elotouch.com e-mail: eloinfo@elotouch.com Elo TouchSystems, Inc. 6500 Kaiser Drive Fremont, CA 94555 USA Phone: (800) 557-1458 (510) 739-4999 Fax: (510) 739-5353 Elo TouchSystems GmbH & Co.
