2       Installation

        NOTE     This programm was designed to work properly only
                 in multi board use.

        For ELSA DESKman is not going to be installed within the installation
        of WINtools, it is necessary to        install it manually in multi board use.
        The installation can be done easily and quickly.

2.1     Manual installation from CD

        Use Windows Explorer to change to your CD-ROM drive, go to the
        directory Elsaware\Wintools\Win95_NT\Deskman.
        Click once with the right mouse button on the file Deskman.inf and once
        again with the left mouse button on the "install" option.

2.2     Program start

        To start ELSA DESKman, reboot your system or run the file Deskman.exe
        in your %SystemRoot\ELSAutil (e.g. C:\WINNT\ELSAutil). A small icon
        appears in the tray-taskbar. Click on it and you can see a pop-up menu,
        where you can choose to configure ELSA DESKman or to get information
        about it.

3       Configuration option

3.1     How to configure the driver

        In the following the settings of ELSA DESKman 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
        DESKman:

        "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.
