============================
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.

1. Installation
============
CAUTION! Before starting the install process, close all active running
applications, and save your data.
1) Make sure that you are logged onto your Windows 2000/XP system with
an account that has sufficient user privileges to modify the registry and
install device drivers.
2) Make sure your device is plugged in. You can plug in a USB device
without restarting. If you plug a device into a PS/2 port, you will need to
restart your computer before proceeding with installation.
When your computer first discovers the new device attached, the "Add New
Hardware Wizard" will run and install the default drivers for the device.
After the "Add New Hardware Wizard" completes its task, you can proceed to
install MouseWorks.
3) If installing from a CD-ROM, insert the MouseWorks CD-ROM into your
CD-ROM drive. The Setup application should launch automatically. If it does
not start automatically, then
(a) Click the Start menu and choose Run.
(b) Then, click the Browse button and choose the CD-ROM drive.
(c) To install the software, select Mworks\SETUP.EXE, click OK
and follow the instructions.
If installing from a downloaded file, simply locate the file SETUP.EXE
(after unzipping the archive, if necessary), double-click it, and follow
the instructions.
4) You will see a window that says, "Do you want to check the Kensington
website for the latest MouseWorks software?" We recommend clicking Yes.
This will ensure that the version of MouseWorks you install is the very
latest one available.
5) When prompted, restart your computer to complete the installation
process.
2. Using the MouseWorks Control Panel
==================================
MouseWorks is now integrated into the Mouse control panel. To configure
MouseWorks, double-click the Mouse icon in your Control Panels folder
(or click the new MouseWorks System Tray icon).
