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
