To install the Artec drivers: 1. Run the self-extracting executable and extract the files to a directory on your hard-drive. 2. Make sure you're currently running generic Windows mouse drivers. If not, change to them before continuing. 3. Now we switch your mouse drivers. Do NOT touch the Setup file extracted from the archive -- this will install a DOS mouse driver and WILL hose your system. Instead, right-click the "My Computer" icon, select "Properties" from the pop-up menu, click the "Device Manager" tab in the window that appears and find your mouse. Double-click the mouse to open its device properties window. 4. Click around until you find a button that will let you switch drivers (exact procedures differ between versions of Win95 and 98). When you get a driver selection menu, click "Have Disk" or something until you get a file loader. Point it to the directory to which you extracted the files in step #1. You should see a "Win95" subdirectory: select it. Hit "OK." Select the correct mouse type, serial or ps2 (serial mice have trapezoidal connectors, ps2 small round ones) and hit OK again. 5. Windows may need to reboot. After reboot, providing your mouse works :j, open up your Mouse control panel. You should see an "Artec" tab. If the "three button mouse" check-box isn't greyed out, check it. Try clicking your middle mouse button -- the middle button in the mouse diagram should turn blue. If it does, you're almost there. 6. Load up Outlaws and go to your Mouse options. If you see a middle row of option circles, just click on the one corresponding to the function you want and you should be all set. If not you'll have to edit your registry. Don't worry, it's not that hard. To install the generic 3-Button Mouse Drivers: 1. Extract the "3key.zip" and run the "Setup.exe." The dialogue boxes are a bit unusual but you really only have two options, to install or to cancel. Be sure to select your kind of mouse, ps2 or serial, from the driver selection window that will come up. After installation you may have to reboot. 2. Now notice that you have an open window with a control panel in it. Leave the middle mouse button set to unassigned. The "speed" slider actually changes acceleration -- to change speed go to your mouse control panel. This driver's acceleration does not work in Outlaws. To Set Your New Button in Outlaws: 1. Go to your Windows directory and run "Regedit.exe." Browse to hkey_local_machine/software/lucasarts entertainment company/outlaws/users/default user/MOUSE. Look at the strings in the left panel; each function has a "Sel" and "Sens" value. Find the Outlaws function you want middle mouse button to use. Double-click it. In the window that appears, set the "Value data" to read "Sel: 4 Sens: 0" and hit OK. Now check for any other strings with a "Sel" of 4. If you find one, double-click it and set "Sel" to "4294967295" which deactivates the function on the mouse. 2. Leave Regedit open or close it if you like and run Outlaws. Load up a game and try out your middle mouse button. If it doesn't alt-fire, try going into Windows and opening your "My Computer" icon. Left-click on the desktop so that the "My Computer" window becomes de-selected -- the top window bar will change color. Now click on the "My Computer" window with your middle mouse button. If it changes back to the selected color your middle mouse button is working -- go back and fiddle with the Outlaws mouse registry settings some more. If the window bar didn't change color then Windows isn't recognizing your third button no matter what the Artec drivers say and you may be out of luck. If you ever need to uninstall the Artec drivers use the "uninstall" button beneath the Artec tab in the Mouse control panel; the generic drivers have an uninstall Windows icon.
