Contour Perfit Mouse USB README File

1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN
To update an existing Contour USB Mouse driver set,
follow the instructions for a first time install.
Removing the existing driver is not necessary.
NOTE: The USB mouse driver requires Windows 98, ME,
2000 or XP. Windows 95 and NT are not supported.
Other mouse software may interfere with installation or
use of the Contour Mouse driver, and should be removed
for best results:
- From the Start menu, select Settings, Control Panel,
then Add/Remove Programs.
- Select any mouse software that appears on the list.
- Click Add/Remove to remove the mouse software.
Restart Windows and confirm that only the standard
Mouse Properties pages are present:
Windows 98: Buttons, Pointers, Motion
Windows ME: Buttons, Pointers, Pointer Options
Windows 2000: Buttons, Pointers, Motion, Hardware
Windows XP: Buttons, Pointers, Pointer Options,
(Wheel), Hardware
If other pages remain, check your existing mouse
documentation for removal instructions.

2. DRIVER INSTALLATION
For best results, start by connecting the Contour Mouse
to any available USB port, and allow Windows to install
its default driver. Windows ME, 2000 and XP do this
automatically. Windows 98 displays the Add New Hardware
Wizard which asks you where to look for drivers. Do not
supply the driver disk at this time. Just accept the
standard search without options (no floppy drive, CD-
ROM or user specified location). In some cases, you may
be prompted to insert the Windows 98 CD-ROM for
necessary system files.
After Windows installs the default USB driver, the
mouse will be operational. You can then upgrade your
installation to use the enhanced Contour driver set:
NOTE: Installing Windows 2000 or XP drivers requires
system-adminstrator security privileges.
- Insert the driver disk in your floppy drive.
- From the Start menu, select Run, type "A:\SETUP" and
click OK.
- Follow the prompts to install the driver.

3. EXPLORING THE CONTOUR MOUSE SETTINGS
- Double-click the mouse icon in the taskbar tray to
open Mouse Properties.
NOTE: To check the Contour Mouse driver version,
right click the tray icon and select About Mouse.
- The same driver supports both left handed and right
handed Contour Mouse models. To change the Buttons
page graphics to match your mouse, double-click the
Left.Reg or Right.Reg file on the driver disk. (These
files also appear in the installation directory on
your hard drive, usually C:\Windows\Contour). The
change will take effect the next time you open Mouse
Properties.
- Context help is available for all controls on the
Contour Mouse pages. Click "?" in the title bar
followed by the item of interest, or right-click the
item and select "What's This?".
- When you are satisfied with your settings, click OK
to close Mouse Properties.

Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
