Install Elantech Smart-Pad Driver and Application:
--------------------------------------------------
ETD Ware supports Windows system including Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Note Regarding Saving of Settings:
----------------------------------
Windows system does not save any variables for users belonging to the
"Guests" user group. This includes special settings as well as all
other user settings. If you want your settings to be saved, make sure
your user account does not belong to the "Guests" group using the User
Manager program.
NOTE REGARDING MULTIPROCESSOR MACHINES:
---------------------------------------
ETD Ware has been tested on the specific processor with Dual Core and
supports multiprocessor machine.
Installation procedure:
-----------------------
First, if you have a new Smart-Pad, plug it in and reboot Windows system.
Windows system will detect Smart-Pad and work with standard mouse driver.
You cannot install the Elantech ETD Ware until this process is complete
and your Smart-Pad is functioning as a normal pointing device.
Log on to your system as "Administrator", or as another user with
administrator privileges.
Run "Setup.exe". This program will automatically install the ETD Ware to
handle Elantech Smart-Pad attached to your computer.
You will need to restart Windows after the installation is completed.
If the driver has been installed correctly, after you have restarted
Windows you should see the Touch-pad Icon in your task bar next to the
clock. Also, a dialog box entitled "Information about your TouchPad"
will pop up. You can prevent this dialog box from coming up in the
future by checking the "Stop showing me this message" checkbox.
Options steps for help using:
----------------------------
For help using the Smart-Pad, double-click on the Touch-pad trayicon in
your task bar, choose the Elantech control tab and select the device you
want to chek, then click on the "Option" button.
After launch the Smart-Pad dialog property, you can browse the help described
for each function.
If you wish to change one or more of your pointing devices to using
a standard Microsoft or other third party driver, you should bring
up the Mouse control panel, and select the "Hardware" tab. From there,
select the pointing device you want to change and click "Properties".
Select the "Driver" tab and Click "Update Driver...". Follow the
instructions to install a new driver.
A few notes on using Setup.exe:
-------------------------------
- When using long path and filename expressions with switches, enclose the
expressions in double quotation marks. The enclosing double quotes tell the
operating system that spaces within the quotation marks are not to be treated
as command line delimiters.
- Do not leave a space between command line switches and options.
- When InstallShield Silent runs, a log file is created in the same folder as
the response file. The log file has the default name Setup.log if the -f2 switch
is not provided.
If you are running "Setup.exe" from a CD, you must specify the name and a
different path for the log file. The default path provided by InstallShield
is the directory containing "Setup.iss". If run from a CD, this would result
in an error, because CDs are read-only. For example, execute the following to run a
silent install and generate the log file "Setup.log" in the C:\Mydir folder:
setup.exe -s -f2"c:\Mydir\Setup.log"
To verify that a silent setup succeeded, look at the ResultCode value in the
[ResponseResult] section of the log file. ResultCode = 0 means the
installation was successful.
- If the -f1 switch is not used when running InstallShield Silent, Setup looks for the
response file Setup.iss in the same folder as Setup.exe. A log file is created in the
same folder.
- Setup.exe command line switches/options are not case sensitive.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
