Windows installation

Insert the Gateway 2000 version 4.1 System CD into your CD-ROM drive. From the Program Manager, click on the word File, then click on Run. On the command line type:

and press Enter to begin.

After the Microsoft IntelliPoint Setup screen appears and you have read the information on the screen, click on the Continue button. The next screen contains more read-me information. Once you have read through it, click on the Continue button.

The next window asks you what type of installation you wish to use. Click on the button labeled Express to continue. The Setup program then displays the directory it wants to load the drivers into. C:\MSINPUT is highlighted in blue in the path box. Click on Continue to accept this default and continue.

As the files are being copied to your hard drive, a percentage bar appears across your screen. As your system files are being updated, the mouse arrow is displayed as an hour glass. The screen briefly flashes to the new group window and icons being added to the Program Manager.

The final screen tells you that Setup is complete. Click on the Reboot button for the new mouse drivers to take effect. When you return to Windows, the Welcome to Microsoft IntelliPoint Software window appears on your screen. Click on the Close button to exit this window.
