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 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.
