Installing the Serial Touch Driver for MS-DOS and
Windows 3.1
You must have a DOS mouse driver (MOUSE.COM) installed for your mouse
if you wish to continue using your mouse along with your touchmonitor in
DOS.
To install Windows 3.xand MS-DOS from Windows 95/98, follow the
directions below:
1Insert the CD-ROM in your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2From DOS, type d:\EloDos_W31 to change to the correct directory on the
CD-ROM (your CD-ROM drive may be mapped to a different drive letter).
3Type install and press Enter to start the installation.
4Align the touchscreen.
You must have already completed Steps 1 and 2 before proceeding.
To run the INSTALL program:
1Type INSTALL at the DOS prompt in the directory containing the driver
install files.
2INSTALL asks you to select the software to install. Then choose
d:\EloDos_W31 from the displayed list.
3INSTALL also asks you for the paths to use during installation, or you may
use its defaults. INSTALL creates directories as necessary, and warns you if
they exist.
If you are updating your software, you may wish to specify the paths containing
the earlier versions, and overwrite the obsolete files. All executable programs
are upward compatible. For a list of differences from each previous version of
the drivers, be sure to select "Differences from Previous Versions" during the
installation process.
INSTALL updates your AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the drivers you select.
INSTALL makes a copy of your original AUTOEXEC.BAT file, called
AUTOEXEC.OLD. If you already have Elo driver commands in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, they will be commented out.
When INSTALL is finished, it leaves a file called GO.BAT in the subdirectory
you specified. GO loads the touchscreen driver, runs the calibration program
ELOCALIB, and gives you some final instructions.
If you are using Windows 3.1, you will also calibrate the touchscreen within
Windows 3.1 with the Touchscreen Control Panel.

About Touchmonitor Adjustments
Your touchmonitor will unlikely require adjustment. Variations in video output
and application may require adjustments to your touchmonitor to optimize the
quality of the display.
For best performance, your touchmonitor should be operating in native
resolution, that is 1024x768 at 60k-75 Hz. Use the Display control panel in
Windows to choose 1024x768 resolution.
Operating in other resolutions will degrade video performance. For further
information, please refer to Appendix A.
All adjustments you make to the controls are automatically memorized. This
feature saves you from having to reset your choices every time you unplug or
power your touchmonitor off and on. If there is a power failure your
touchmonitor settings will not default to the factory specifications.
