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
\Class\EloTouchscreen\XXXX\HardwareHandshaking
where "XXXX" is the registry section for the touchscreen
for which the no-handshaking mode is to be
enabled.
- 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.
- Your application can launch the Elo video alignment
application. Simply execute ELOVA.EXE in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
folder from within your application.
- Touch will not be available for a period of time while
Windows logs on a new user. Touch operation returns once
Windows completes the new user log on.
- Uninstalling the driver will leave the following benign empty
folder on your hard drive:
C:\Program Files\EloTouch
==========================================
Enhancements and Bug Fixes in This Release
==========================================
- The right mouse button utility was modified to correct bugs
and support multiple monitors.
- A new setup program was created to automate installation
of the MonitorMouse drivers and to configure multiple
touchmonitors for use on a single Windows 9x system.
The new setup program automatically replaces any previous
installation of MonitorMouse.
- The driver now supports up to 4 touchmonitors on a single
Windows 9x system. The multiple-monitor feature of Windows
98/98SE/ME is fully supported. The driver has been suc-
cessfully tested with the following multi-port serial
adapters:
- COMTROL RocketPort (www.comtrol.com)
- Equinox SST (www.equinox.com)
- No reboot is required to install the driver, except when
updating a previous driver install.
- The control panel was enhanced to allow the COM port to
be selected from the General tab when configured for a
single monitor. An enhanced Diagnostics tab displays all
registry values for each touchscreen.
- The control panel was resized to fit completely on a
640 x 480 display.
- A blue "elo" icon is added to the taskbar tray to give you
convenient access to Elo Touchscreen properties, the right
mouse button utility and other functions. Click or touch
it to view available menu options. Double-click or double-
touch it to immediately launch Elo Touchscreen properties.
==========
Known Bugs
==========
- The touchscreen will not work properly when the mouse is
set for left-handed button configuration in the standard
Windows 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.
- The Apply and Cancel buttons in the Elo 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.
- When using an Equinox multi-port serial interface card, a
loss of touch is sometimes experienced after initial video
alignment during installation on those touchscreens connected
to it. During testing this behavior was experienced in about
20% of the installations and normal touch response is always
restored when Windows is restarted.
- If the "No" button is pressed in the "Check Video Alignment"
dialog box the cursor remains visible during the subsequent
alignment process.
- The background color of the COM port selection combo box on
the general tab of the control panel changes to the "item
selected default color" if the dropdown arrow of the combo
box is clicked twice. The color should remain the "item
not selected default color" if the COM port number has not
changed. This is corrected when the control panel is closed
then executed again.
- When the control panel video alignment button is pressed and the
ESC key is hit just before the first target appears, the video
alignment is canceled but the control panel video alignment
button is disabled. Close, then execute the control panel to
correct this.
- If the serial cable is disconnected and reconnected during
constant touch, a loss of touch sometimes results. Restart
Windows to recover touch operation if this happens.
- When using Windows 95 in a multi-monitor configuration, the
RBUTTON window always appears in the center of the desktop after
the system is rebooted. We don't recommend using the right mouse
button utility in multi-monitor configurations.
