1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN

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

If other pages remain, check your existing mouse documentation for removal instructions.

2. DRIVER INSTALLATION

For best results, allow Windows to install its default driver BEFORE running the driver disk Setup program.

On Windows 98, start by plugging the mouse into any available USB port, then follow the prompts. Allow Windows to search its driver database, but none of the optional locations (floppy, CD-ROM, Windows Update, etc.). In some cases you may be asked to insert the Windows 98 CD-ROM for needed system files.

On Windows ME, plug the mouse into any available USB port. Windows ME will recognize the new device and automatically install its default driver.

After your mouse is working with the default Windows driver, you can upgrade to the Contour driver:
  • Insert the driver disk in your floppy drive.
  • From the Start menu, select Run, type "A:\SETUP" and click OK.
  • Follow the prompts to finish the installation.


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 are also copied to 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.
