             Synaptics Touchpad Driver for Windows NT
                        Installation Notes
                         Version 4.1.10beta
                              
1. Installing the Synaptics TouchPad Driver
-------------------------------------------

NOTE TO USERS OF A PREVIOUS SYNAPTICS BETA NT DRIVER:
-----------------------------------------------------
It is important that you uninstall your previous Beta by executing 
the enclosed "UnInstall" command file and reboot your machine 
before proceeding with installation of this driver. Previous NT
Beta drivers were installed using an incompatible method that could
render your keyboard and/or mouse unusable unless the "UnInstall" 
script is run before installing this version.

NOTE REGARDING NT SERVICE PACKS:
--------------------------------
It is highly recommended that you install NT 4.0 Service Pack 2, 
available from Microsoft. At the time this document was written,
the URL for Service Pack 2 was:

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/usa/nt40/ussp2/

The installation procedure outlined for Service Pack 2 will work with 
Service Pack 1 as well as without any service pack installed, however, 
users will not be able to change from using the Synaptics driver to 
using the Microsoft or any other mouse driver using the Control Panel 
(this functionality only works properly when the fixes in Service 
Pack 2 are installed). Without Service Pack 2, users will also not be able 
to select different drivers to handle more than 1 device.

NOTE REGARDING KEYBOARD DRIVERS:
--------------------------------
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. Reinstalling the non-standard driver will likely fix this
problem and not cause any serious problems unless you are running on 
a multi-processor machine.

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

Installation procedure (preferably with Service Pack 2 installed):
-----------------------------------------------------

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

First, it is highly recommended that you update your NT Emergency 
Repair disk using the "rdisk" utility before proceeding any further.
Certain machine configurations have been demonstrated to be 
incompatible with the Synaptics TouchPad driver, resulting in
an inability to use the mouse, and sometimes even the keyboard.
If this occurs, you might need to repair your NT system's system 
registry files, which will be much less painful if you have an
up-to-date Emergency Repair disk. It is possible that booting into
the "Last Known Good" configuration would result in the Synaptics
driver being disabled, so this should be attempted first.

Once you have updated your Emergency Repair Disk, install the 
Synaptics TouchPad driver as follows:

Open the Control Panel, and then open the Mouse control panel. This
can also be accomplished by typing "control mouse" at the command
prompt.

Click on the "General" tab, which will display a page containing a drop
down box listing all of the pointing devices you have installed on 
your machine.

For each pointing device that you want controlled by the Synaptics 
TouchPad driver:

- Select the device from the drop down list, and click "Change...".
- Click "Have Disk..."
- Type in the path to the directory containing the Synaptics
  TouchPad Driver files.
- Select the appropriate Synaptics TouchPad device from the displayed 
  list and click "Ok".

After the first pointing device is changed, NT will include the 
Synaptics drivers in the list it generates when you click "Change...". 
You may then skip the steps of clicking "Have Disk..." and typing in 
the directory.

If you wish to switch a pointing device back to using a standard 
Microsoft device driver, you may select a different driver from 
the list NT will generate when you click "Change...". Note that this 
will not remove the Synaptics driver from disk, but it will 
disable it on the selected port. If it is disabled on all ports, 
the Synaptics driver will disable itself.

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.

NOTE TO DEVELOPERS WITH PS/2 TOUCHPADS USING SOFT-ICE FOR WINDOWS NT:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
SoftIce NT attempts to patch the keyboard driver "i8042prt.sys", and 
will prevent the keyboard from operating if it cannot do this.
Since the Synaptics PS/2 TouchPad driver installs a differently 
named keyboard driver, the keyboard not work if SoftIce is also 
running. This problem can be worked around on single processor 
machines by modifying the following two registry keys as shown. 
You will need to press <esc> during boot time to prevent SoftIce 
from loading in order to log in and run regedit (or you may remotely 
modify the registry).

1) HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\I8042prt  [existing key]
     ImagePath = "System32\Drivers\i8042prt.sys"    [modify existing value]
2) HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SynTP\Parameters [new key]
     SoftIce = 1  [new DWORD value]

The Synaptics driver cannot be used in combination with SoftIce on
multi-processor machines (assuming SoftIce NT ever works on MP machines).
