             Synaptics Touchpad Driver for Windows NT
                        Installation Notes
                         Version 5.5.9
                              
1. Installing the Synaptics TouchPad Driver
-------------------------------------------

NOTE REGARDING NT SERVICE PACKS:
--------------------------------
This driver requires Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 2 or greater
installed. At the time this document was written, the latest
Service Pack was available from Microsoft at:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/NTW/info/ntupdates.htm

NOTE REGARDING SAVING OF SETTINGS:
----------------------------------
Windows NT does not save any of the user settings for users belonging
to the "Guests" user group. This includes special TouchPad 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 (you must be Administrator to change
user settings).


NOTE REGARDING MULTIPROCESSOR MACHINES:
---------------------------------------
Though we believe it should work, this driver has not been tested on 
any multiprocessor machines.

On multiprocessor machines, this installation procedure will install 
a keyboard driver that is compatible with the Synaptics TouchPad driver. 
This keyboard driver is nearly identical to the standard Microsoft Driver, 
and should work interchangably with it. However, if you use a third party 
non-standard keyboard driver, the installation procedure may disable
it. 

Installation procedure (with Service Pack 2 installed):
-------------------------------------------------------
First, if you have a new TouchPad, plug it in and reboot Windows NT.
Windows NT will then detect your new TouchPad and install a standard
mouse driver to handle it. You cannot install the Synaptics TouchPad
driver until this process is complete and your TouchPad is functioning
as a normal pointing device.

Log on to your NT system as "Administrator", or as another user with 
administrator privileges. 

Run "Setup.exe". This program will automatically install the Synaptics
TouchPad driver to handle all PS/2 and Serial pointing devices
attached to your computer.

You will need to restart Windows after the installation is complete.
If the driver has been installed correctly, after you have restarted 
Windows you should see the TouchPad 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. 

For help using your TouchPad, choose "Tell me more..." from the
"Information about your TouchPad" dialog box, or double-click on the
TouchPad Icon in your task bar, and click on the "Help" button.

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 "General" tab. From there,
select the pointing device you want to change and click "Change...".
You may then select a different driver to handle that device.


NOTE TO DEVELOPERS WITH PS/2 TOUCHPADS USING SOFT-ICE FOR WINDOWS NT:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
SoftIce attempts to patch the keyboard driver "i8042prt.sys", and 
may prevent the keyboard from operating if it cannot do this properly.
Since the Synaptics PS/2 TouchPad driver may install a replacement
keyboard driver, the keyboard may not work if SoftIce attempts to patch it.
This problem can be worked around by modifying the SoftICE configuration 
file, %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\Winice.dat, to contain the line 
"ECHOKEYS=ON". This will prevent SoftICE from attempting to patch the 
keyboard driver.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
