4 Software installation under Windows 98 /

Me / 2000 / XP

This section describes how the mouse should be connected to the USB or PS/2 port,
how the software should be installed, and how to check the installation.

4.1 Connection

The mouse can be used on either the PS/2 or the USB port of your computer. It is
recommended to use the PS/2 port of your computer, if this port is present. This way
you keep a USB port free, which you can use to attach other USB equipment.

This section describes how to connect the mouse to the PS/2 port. In order to
connect the mouse to the PS/2 port, you will need to use the green adapter provided
[USB → PS/2].

1. Make sure the computer is switched off.

2. Connect the PS/2 plug of the mouse to the PS/2 socket of the computer.

3. Turn the computer on.

4.1.2 Via USB port

In order to connect the mouse to the USB port, you must remove the adapter from
the USB plug of the mouse.

Note: If your PC is running under Windows 98, you may be prompted to

insert the Windows 98 CD-ROM, following connection of the mouse.
Make sure that you have this available.

Note: Under Windows 98, it may happen that Windows does not report

detecting an attached mouse. In that case, use the keyboard to
complete the steps of the wizard. By using the [Alt + Tab] key
combination you can make selections. In most cases, it will be
sufficient to press [enter] several times, to select ‘Next’.

1. Make sure the computer is switched off.

2. Connect the mouse to a free USB port on you computer.

3. Turn the computer on.

4. Windows will detect the mouse, and in most cases, automatically install the
standard Windows USB mouse driver. If this does not happen automatically,
follow the instructions on your screen.

The mouse is now connected to the computer. The mouse will now work as a
standard mouse with scroll function. To make use of the three program mable
buttons, you need to install the software provided. Continue further with section 4.2.

4.2 De-install old drivers and products

The most common cause of installation problems is the presence of a residual driver
for a comparable product that has been removed. The best solution is to first remove
all related drivers for these products before installing the new driver. Tak e car e that
you only remove drivers from old, comparable products that are no longer in use.

1. Activate the Safe Mode of Windows (during system start-up, repeatedly

press F8, and select Safe Mode from the menu that will appear after a short
time.)

2. Activate Start – Settings – Control Panel – Software.

3. Search for all old programs for products of a similar t ype, and r emove these

(button add/delete). Through Safe Mode it is possible that you may even
find multiple entries for the same device. In that case, remove the multiple
entries.

4. Restart the computer.

4.3 Installation under Windows 98 / Me / 2000 / XP

Note: The latest versions of the drivers can always be found on

www.trust.com/13681 . Check beforehand whether a new version is

Note: During installation under Windows XP you may get a message that an

unsigned driver has been detected. This is not a problem for the
functionality. Continue with the installation.

Note: In the text we use ‘D:\’ to indicate the CD-ROM station; however, this may

differ per computer.
