        want detail of operation, please see help file accessible
        from within the AlpsPoint Control Panel.

3  Restoring Your Installation

     The AlpsPoint drivers are compatible with most standard
     mice and similar pointing devices. However, If you do
     change driver to use another device, you can restore the 
     AlpsPoint drivers as follows. 

     Follow the first-time installation procedure in section 1,
     (using the Control Panel or Device Manager method) as for as
     the Select Device screen.

     2) Click Alps in Manufacturers column.
     3) Click Alps GlidePoint in Models column, then click OK.
     4) When returned to previous property sheet, then click Close or 
        click OK.
     5) The System Settings Change message is displayed. Click 
        Yes so the new setting can take effect.

4. Troubleshooting

    4.1 Installing from Add New Hardware
     Don't use the Add New Hardware Wizard for installing AlpsPoint.
     This method  produces a confusing display in Device Manager,
     because it adds new Mouse entries without clearing the old
     ones. It may also lead to inaccurate information about
     which pointing devices are active or inactive.
