---------------------------------
PRODUCT SUMMARY
---------------------------------
TouchWare for Windows is the software for your 3M Touch Systems 
touch screen. It allows you to select, launch, and drag objects 
using the touch screen.

TouchWare provides full touch screen functionality for all 
applications running under Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, 
Windows NT 4.0, Windows Me, and Windows 9X. It uses a true 32-bit 
implementation of the driver and control panel to implement touch 
screen support.

---------------------------------
FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS
---------------------------------
* TouchWare now supports Windows XP.

* This version of TouchWare features an entirely new Multiple Monitors
  interface. USB, serial, and PS/2 multiple monitor setups can be 
  configured from the Multiple Monitors tab in the TouchWare Control
  Panel.
  
* This version of TouchWare incorporates a new version of DOSTouch, 
  which supplies full screen DOS under Windows 2000.

* The Installer now always assumes a multiple monitor setup. The 
  Express/Custom installation page no longer offers a choice between
  single and multiple touch screen settings. Both serial and PS/2 
  automatically launch a search for controllers on all COM ports. 
  USB multiple monitors are still installed after TouchWare is installed.

* This version adds support for current generation dual-head video 
  cards. These cards present multiple monitors to some operating 
  systems as a single monitor, thus requiring the user to manually 
  split the large composite monitor into its smaller component 
  monitors using the Multiple Monitors tab for touch screen assignment. 

* TouchWare no longer supports 19,200 baud for serial controllers. 
  (19200 is still a valid choice for Touch Pen.) If TouchWare finds
  a controller at 19200, you will be asked to change to 9600 baud. 
  Otherwise TouchWare will abort installation.

---------------------------------
KNOWN ANOMALIES
---------------------------------
* Although the drivers appear to operate normally under most conditions,
  3M Touch Systems does not guarantee operation of its drivers under 
  power management situations such as "standby" and "hibernation". 
  If you intend to use these options you should carefully test your 
  system.

* The keyboard type for Japanese Windows NT systems using PS/2 
  controllers may be reported as an unknown MtsI8042.sys type. To 
  correct this, use the Control Panel to select the proper keyboard
  type. Then uninstall TouchWare, reboot, and reinstall TouchWare. 
  The keyboard type should remain whatever you previously selected.

* Occasionally on Windows 98 and Me, the USB installation will not
  work until after a reboot.

* Prior to attaching a USB controller, the TouchWare USB software 
  needs to be installed. Occasionally, under Windows 2000, even after
  the USB software is installed, insertion of the USB controller may
  fail to load the driver. If this happens, go to Start>Control Panel>
  System>Hardware>Device Manager. Expand the "Mice and other pointing
  devices" section and select the "MicroTouch Touch Screen USB 
  Controller" entry, which should have a yellow warning indicator 
  over its icon. From the "Action" menu, issue the "Uninstall" command. 
  Unplug and reconnect the controller and the driver will be found.

* For installation of the TouchWare PS/2 software under Windows 2000,
  the PS/2 touch screen controller must be connected to the system
  when it was booted.

* When installing the TouchWare PS/2 software under Windows 9x, Me,
  or NT, you must uninstall any existing version of TouchWare and 
  disconnect and disable any existing PS/2 mouse drivers and hardware
  prior to installing the new 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 that some styles of laptop mice
  cannot be physically removed, though usually they still can be 
  disabled. 

* TouchWare does not always recognize PS/2 controllers. When
  this happens, the PS/2 driver disables the keyboard. In this
  case, you must uninstall TouchWare to regain the keyboard. This 
  appears to happen on some PC's due to BIOS incompatibilities. You
  should keep a serial mouse attached to the system during installation
  in case the keyboard becomes disabled.

* If you uninstall TouchWare, you should restart the system before 
  installing a new version of the software or the new installation 
  might fail. If you attempt to attach a USB device to your system
  after installing TouchWare, you may lose touch functionality 
  during installation of that device. You should keep a keyboard 
  or mouse attached to the system during USB device installation.

* The setup program does not remove the DOSTOUCH program from the 
  AUTOEXEC.BAT file during a Windows 95 upgrade installation.

* 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.

* Some older video cards may cause conflicts with COM 4. Refer to 
  Article ID: Q127138 in the Microsoft Technical Support Knowledge 
  base for further information.

* If you are using a ThruGlass controller, you may have difficulty
  making selections at the top or bottom of the screen. To correct
  the problem, select ThruGlass Configuration>Diagnostics>Auto 
  Frequency.

* If you are using a touch pen and must do a "Find Touch Screen" 
  to locate the touch pen, the "Pen" tab does not automatically 
  appear in the TouchWare control panel applet. Simply exit the 
  applet and re-enter it. The "Pen" tab will be present.

* In some multiple monitor situations, dialog boxes will appear on
  the edge of monitors and across several monitors. This is unavoidable
  in many cases. Whenever TouchWare is display a message about a 
  particular monitor, that message does appear centered on that monitor.
  When a TouchWare dialog does not pertain to a particular monitor and
  the multiple monitor layout has been defined, such a dialog appears 
  centered on the primary monitor.

* TouchWare does not support combinations of single and dual head video
  adapters in the same box. You may have a maximum of 4 single head 
  video adapters or you may have up to two dual head video adapters,
  but a mix of different ones is not supported.

* TouchWare supports the concurrent use of one or more serial
  controllers with a PS/2 controller. To install TouchWare on such a
  system, select the "MousePort (PS/2)" installation option. The
  installer then searches all COM ports for serial controllers. This
  search does not test for the PS/2 controller. After the search is
  complete, the installer installs both the serial and PS/2 drivers on
  the system.

* Some of the dual head video adapters tested with TouchWare have modes
  that are incompatible with mirrored (all monitors showing the same
  image) operation in TouchWare. For mirrored operation, TouchWare
  requires these cards report a single, active monitor to the system.
  If the Settings tab on the Display Properties (accessed either
  through the control panel or by right-clicking on the desktop and
  selecting Properties) shows two or more active monitors, you need to
  use the Advanced button to reconfigure your video adapter. Some cards
  show two monitors, one large and one small, with the small one being
  disabled. This configuration works with TouchWare since the video
  adapter appears as only one active monitor. See your video adapter
  documentation for instructions on configuring your card.
