1. Selecting 2- or 3- Button Mouse Mode (If the mouse you purchased has three buttons, please follow these instructions.) The mouse has a switch on the bottom to select 2- or 3- button mouse mode operation. To configure the mouse as a Microsoft Mouse (2-button), move the switch to the position marked Microsoft. To configure the Mouse as a Mouse system Mouse (3-button), move the switch to the position marked Mouse System. If you want to change this mode after the software installation is completed, move the switch to the desired position, then go back to the DOS level and key in the command \BMOUSE. (If the mouse you purchased has three buttons but does not have a mode switch, please follow these instructions.) To configure the mouse as a Microsoft Mouse (2-button), Install the mouse on the serial port. After installing the mouse boot up your computer. The mouse will automatically configure itself as a Microsoft Mouse. To configure the mouse as a Mouse system Mouse (3-button), after installing the mouse, press the left mouse button. Next, turn on your computer, and hold the button down while the computer boots up. The mouse will be configured as a Mouse system Mouse. An alternative to turning your computer off and on is to simply hold down the left botton, unplug the mouse from the serial port, and then reconnect it. 2. The Serial-PS/2 Mouse (If the mouse you purchased has two buttons, please follow these instructions.) Since the serial PS/2 mouse can be installed on a serial port or a mouse port, you should first determine which kind of port your computer has. To install the serial PS/2 mouse on a serial port, you must first connect an adapter to the mouse connector. With the adapter connected, and the connector inserted into your computer's serial port, the mouse will automatically configure itself to emulate the Microsoft mouse. To install the serial PS/2 mouse on a mouse port (also called a Pointing Device Port), simply connect the mouse directly to the mouse port. The mouse will then automatically configure itself as a PS/2 mouse. When configured as a PS/2 mouse, the mouse emulates the IBM PS/2 mouse. 3. Mouse Software Installation. 3.1 Installing the Mouse Driver To install the mouse driver follow these instructions. 1) Turn your computer ON, and insert the mouse driver disk in drive A. 2) At the DOS prompt, type the following command: A:\INSTALL [ENTER] The installation program will install your mouse driver software. 3.2 Testing the Mouse 1) Insert your mouse driver disk into drive A. 2) At the DOS prompt, type the following command: A:\TEST A screen will appear. On the lower-right corner of the screen you will see a box. This box shows the sensitivity level, IRQ configuration, and COM port (or mouse port) configuration of the mouse. 3) A small pointer (shaped like a diamond in a box) will appear in the middle of the screen. The pointer's movement on the screen will correspond to the movement of the mouse across the desk top. 4) In the middle of the screen you will see three (or four) rectangular boxes. The bottom box shows the coordinates of the pointer's position on the screen. When you move the mouse, the -x and-y axis values will change. Now press each of the mouse buttons. The other two (or three) rectangular boxes should darken to indicate which mouse button you have pressed. 5) To exit this program, move the cursor to the quit box and press the left mouse button, or using the keyboard, key in "Q". 3.3 Setting Mouse Driver Options The following options are available for the mouse driver. 3.3.1 Help Function (/H) This option provides a short explanation of the mouse and command options. Command format: BMOUSE/H 3.3.2 Mouse Software Resolution (/M) The software resolution determines the degree of accuracy and speed of the mouse driver pointer's movement across the screen. Higher resolution will cause the pointer movement to speed up. A lower resolution will slow down the pointer and will improve pointer accuracy. Command format: BMOUSE/M (M=1-9) Replace the letter "M" with the number (1-9) indicating the desired software resolution. The default software resolution is setting 6. 3.3.3 Communication Port (/N) The communication port refers to the serial port on some computers. The mouse can be configured for either COM1 or COM2. The default is COM1. Command format: BMOUSE/N (N= 1:COM1, N=2:COM2) Note: You can set the software resolution and communication port at the same time with the following command: Command format: BMOUSE/MN 3.3.4 Remove from Memory (/R) If you need more memory to run applications, the mouse driver can be removed from your computer's memory. (Note: Removing the mouse driver from memory will disable the mouse until you reinstall the mouse driver.) Command format: BMOUSE/R 3.3.5 Dynamic Resolution (/D) When this feature is enabled, you will notice that the response of the cursor movement increases in direct proportion to the speed of the mouse's movement across the desk top. In other words, the speed of the mouse effects not only the speed of the cursor movement, but also the distance the cursor moves. The faster you move the mouse, the farther the cursor moves across the screen, and vice versa. For more detailed information concerning this feature, please refer to the README file by running README.EXE. Command format: BMOUSE/D 3.3.6 Switch Left Right Button (/L) If you are left handed, this option enables you to change the Left/Right configuration of the mouse buttons. Command format: BMOUSE/L 4. Cursor Enhancement Utility When using Windows, you will find that the cursor is very hard to see when it moves across the screen. This utility reverses the color of the cursor making it easier to see. This utility supports both EGA and VGA LCD displays. 4.1 EGA LCD Display Please type these command: REN C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\EGA.DRV EGA1.DRV [ENTER] COPY X:EGA,DRV C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM [ENTER] 4.2 VGA LCD Display Please type these command: REN C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VGA.DRV VGA1.DRV [ENTER] COPY X:VGA,DRV C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM [ENTER] NOTE: (1) Where "X" means which driver you put the driver disk in. (2) Above examples assume the path name is C:\WINDOWS, if it isn't, change it with your path name. Now you can start your Windows and you will see a Black cursor on your LCD screen.
