1. Installing the Synaptics TouchPad Driver
----------------------------------------
Use the Setup.exe program! This will guide you through the
installation procedure. You can run this program either through a
DOS box by going to the directory that contains the driver files and
typing "setup", or using StartMenu-Run and running setup (e.g. if the
driver files are on a floppy disk in the A: drive, you would type
"A:\setup".)
After the driver is loaded and you have restarted windows, you should
see the TouchMeter Icon in your task bar next to the clock. Also, a
dialog box, "Information about your TouchPad" should come up unless
you have checked the "Stop showing me this message" checkbox. Either
choose "Tell me more..." from this dialog box, or double-click on the
TouchMeter Icon in your task bar, and choose the help button.
