1.   WINDOWS 3.1 SUPPORT

1.1  Driver Installation

     To install the Synaptics TouchPad driver for Windows
     3.1 (including Windows 3.11 or Windows for Workgroups)
     or any DOS version (3.3 or later is recommended):

     - If Windows is running, exit to DOS. The installer
       cannot be run from inside Windows or from a Windows
       DOS session.

     - Insert the driver disk in your floppy drive.

     - Type "A:\INST31" (using the appropriate drive letter)
       and follow the prompts. You will be asked to confirm
       the installation type (DOS, Windows, or both), the
       driver directory, and whether the DOS driver should
       be loaded at startup time. If you are unsure about
       any question, simply accept the default response.

     - If you allowed the install program to update
       AUTOEXEC.BAT, it will offer to reboot your system
       with the new settings. The Windows driver will become
       active the next time you start Windows.

1.2  Using the Synaptics TouchPad Control Panel

     - From the Program Manager, open the Main program
       group, then double-click on Control Panel.

     - Double-click the Synaptics TouchPad icon to bring up
       the Synaptics TouchPad Control Panel. (This enhanced
       control panel replaces the standard Mouse Control
       Panel.)

     - The available controls are grouped into five
       categories (Pointer, Motion, Orientation, Shortcuts,
       TouchPad). Online Help is provided for all topics.

     - When you are satisfied with your settings, click OK
       to close the Synaptics TouchPad Control Panel.

1.3  Restoring Your Installation

     The Synaptics TouchPad drivers are compatible with most
     standard mice and similar pointing devices. However, if
     you do change drivers to use another device, you can
     restore the Synaptics TouchPad installation (including
     your control panel settings) as follows:

     - If Windows is running, exit to DOS. The installer
       cannot be run from inside Windows or from a Windows
       DOS session.

     - Change to the drive and directory containing your
       Synaptics TouchPad installation (e.g., C:\SYNTOUCH).

     - Type "INST31" and follow the prompts. Make certain
       you specify the same installation path where the
       files currently reside. This will cause the installer
       to restore the previous configuration using those
       files and saved settings.

     - If you allowed the install program to update
       AUTOEXEC.BAT, it will offer to reboot your system
       with the new settings. The Windows driver will become
       active the next time you start Windows.

2.   DOS SUPPORT

     The Windows 95 install procedure described above
     automatically includes the DOS driver, SYNTOUCH.COM.
     This driver provides the support needed for DOS
     applications, either full-screen or windowed.

     If you are not running Windows 95, use the INST31
     program to install the Synaptics TouchPad drivers for
     DOS only, Windows only (version 3.1), or both DOS and
     Windows.

     Some of the pointing device settings (such as
     sensitivity, acceleration and orientation) are shared
     between the DOS and Windows drivers. The easiest way to
     set these options is through the Synaptics TouchPad
     Control Panel in Windows. The DOS driver will pick up
     any changes the next time it starts up.

     Other settings (such as the pointer options) may differ
     between DOS and Windows, and are stored separately in
     the MOUSE.INI file. You can change the DOS settings
     directly by editing this file or by adding option
     switches to the SYNTOUCH command line. See the
     SYNTOUCH.TXT file for details.
