Touchware 5.4 provides support for touchscreen
operation on Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0, using a

KNOWN ANOMALIES
---------------
1. If your system has difficulty during startup, you may be
experiencing timing conflicts with some anti-virus
software. Timing conflicts can occur when more than one
program attempts to load as Windows starts up. Refer to
the anti-virus software manufacturer's website for
additional information on how to resolve these timing
issues.
2. In planning to use a touchscreen without a mouse or
keyboard installed, you must first remove the mouse and
reboot. Then, using the keyboard, you can disable the
Windows dialog warning "Mouse not found". Finally,
remove the keyboard and reboot the system.
3. If you are installing a MousePort controller, you must
disconnect as well as disable any existing PS/2 mouse
drivers/hardware prior to installing TouchWare. Verify
IRQ 12 is not being used by the system. Even if the hardware
is disconnected, the system may still be claiming the IRQ.
Note: Some styles of laptop mice cannot be physically removed.
However, they can usually be disabled.
4. The setup program does not remove the DOSTOUCH
program from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file during a
Windows 95 upgrade installation.
5. The setup program will only look for the default
directories for previous TouchWare versions on the
target system when doing a Windows 95 upgrade
installation.
6. Some older video cards may cause conflicts with COM 4.
