I. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
============================

WARNING! - Before starting the install process, close all active
======= running applications, and save your data.

IMPORTANT NOTE: According to Microsoft, Windows 2000 and Windows XP require
your machine to have a minimum of 64 MB of RAM. Although it is sometimes
possible to run these operating systems with less memory, installing
Kensington MouseWorks on such a machine is not supported. Installing
MouseWorks with less than 64 MB of RAM may result in your machine failing to
boot.

Before you try to install MouseWorks, make sure that you are logged onto your
Windows 2000 or Windows XP system with an account that has sufficient user
privileges to modify the registry and install device drivers.
Installing MouseWorks from CD-ROM
---------------------------------

Insert the MouseWorks Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. The
Setup application should launch automatically, but if it does not, then

1. Click the Start button and choose 'Run.'

2. Then, click the Browse button and choose the CD-ROM drive.

3. Select Mworks\setup.exe and click 'OK' and install the software.

4. Follow the prompts and directions on screen. Simply hitting return
at each screen will select the defaults. This is appropriate for the
vast majority of users.
II. THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR
===========================

1. Certain newer Kensington devices, when used with MouseWorks on SMP
(symmetric multiprocessor) machines running Windows 2000, sometimes
cause random freezes or crashes. The cause of this is unknown and is
being investigated. If this happens to you, uninstall MouseWorks. The
devices which may be affected by this problem include the TurboBall,
Expert Mouse Pro, and TurboRing trackballs and the MouseWorks mouse.

2. Mouse speed and acceleration of Kensington devices are completely
controlled by the Kensington MouseWorks control panel. If you are also
using a non-Kensington mouse, only the Windows Mouse control panel
settings apply to that mouse.

3. If you are left-handed, use the Kensington MouseWorks Control Panel to
change the Right button to produce a Left button response and the Left
Button to produce a Right button response. You must do so in that order,
since at least one button must be defined as producing a Left button
action at all times. Note that MouseWorks controls the button mapping
only for Kensington input devices; for non-Kensington devices, use the
"Buttons" tab of the Windows Mouse Control Panel.

4. In the Windows 2000 Device Manager, Kensington mice are labelled either
HID-compliant mouse, Microsoft PS/2 Mouse, or Microsoft Serial Mouse.
This is normal, because the MouseWorks driver simply hooks into the data
stream that is provided by the standard Microsoft drivers.
