An Overview of DOS and Windows 3.x V2.0c Drivers

A DOS mouse driver is REQUIRED with the 2.0c touch drivers.

The DOS mouse driver will allow the touchscreen to work and will drive the mouse in both DOS and Windows.

Reinstallation of the Windows mouse drivers will make touch inoperative.

DOS Driver Summary

Either MOUSE or NOMOUSE must load

MOUSE will not load if a mouse is not attached and detected

ELODEV must load and include DOS calibration points

ELODEV will not load if a controller is not detected
ELODEV will not load if DSR and CTS are not detected (serial) (unless -p - flag is used)
ELODEV will not be calibrated if the installation was aborted

MONMOUSE must load

MONMOUSE will not load unless MOUSE (or NOMOUSE) is loaded
MONMOUSE will not load if ELODEV is not loaded
MONMOUSE will not load if ELODEV is not calibrated for DOS

You may use the Step-by-Step boot to see that each driver loads. Press F8 when "Starting MS-DOS" appears during the boot.

AUTOEXEC.BAT Driver Calls

The -c ## ## ## ## in the ELODEV line is the calibration points. If the calibration points are not present, ELODEV will load but monmouse will not load. Run ELOCALIB to calibrate and add the calibration points to the ELODEV line.

The Windows drivers will not operate unless all the DOS drivers are properly loaded.

SYSTEM.INI (Windows) Driver Calls

[boot] section

mouse.drv=monmouse.drv

[boot description] section (this is a desriptor and is not actually required)

mouse.drv=Elo TouchSystems MonitorMouse(R) for Windows

[386Enh] section

mouse=vmmd.386

All other mouse calls should be commented out (line begins with a semicolon).

Windows calibration is done separately in the Control Panel/Touchscreen/Calibrate function.
