according directory of your graphic card and to Winnt40\I386\Deskman.

again with the left mouse button on the "install" option.

in your %SystemRoot\ELSAutil (e.g. C:\WINNT\ELSAutil). A small icon

3 Configuration option
3.1 How to configure the driver
In the following the settings of ELSA DESKman for Windows NT will
be explained. Changes can be done by using "Options" from the
DESKman pop-up menu.
3.2 What does DESKman do?
- DESKman restricts the window size to one monitor, unless you
expressly allow larger windows.
- A window that would normally be centered on the entire desktop
is automatically centered on one of the monitors.
- A window that is not centered, but stretches over the border
between two monitors, is moved entirely to the monitor which
displayed the bigger part of the window.
- Full-screen applications are restricted to one monitor, unless
specified otherwise.

4 Errors
When using only one ELSA graphic card or two graphic cards without
multiboard option, you get the following error message with ELSA

"You are not using ELSA MULTIman or a virtual screen. You do not
need DESKman."
In this case you should deinstall ELSA DESKman with
CONTROL PANEL/SOFTWARE. Mark "ELSA DESKman" and click on the
"Add/Remove..." Button.
