=================
HID Class Devices
=================
Because your Elo USB touchmonitor or touchscreen controller
conforms to the USB HID class specification, Windows XP and
Windows 2000 support it inherently with default HID class
drivers. You may notice that a touch will move the Windows
cursor even before you install this USB Tool for Windows.
However, you must install the USB Tool for Windows in order to
install and use the video alignment application (used to
correctly align your finger to the Windows cursor) and Elo
control panel.
=============
Release Notes
=============
- You must have administrator access rights to run the
Elo Touchscreen control panel and video alignment
applications.
- The control panel and video alignment applications will report
errors with one or more drivers if the 2.0 or 3.0 release of Elo
MonitorMouse serial touch interface drivers are loaded along
with the Elo USB Tool for Windows. These serial drivers do not
have the appropriate version data to function with these
applications. You can avoid these error messages by uninstalling
the serial drivers.
- A touch will not wake the system when in Stand-by power save
mode. Move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard to return
from Stand-by mode. Disable Stand-by mode in the Power
Management control panel to avoid this issue when the USB
touchscreen is your only input device.
- 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.
==========================================
Enhancements and Bug Fixes in This Release
==========================================
- Added support for display size larger than touchscreen.
==========
Known Bugs
==========
- The touchscreen will not work properly when the mouse is
set for left-handed button configuration in the 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.
- Uninstalling the driver will leave the following benign
empty folder on your hard drive:
