Install the driver

Open the “1. driver” folder and run install_driver.bat. Approve the administrator request.

Install the Visual C++ package

Open Microsoft’s download page and install the package that matches the InterAccel application: x64 for the 64-bit app or x86 for the 32-bit app.

Restart Windows

Restart the PC after the driver installation. The Interception driver does not work until Windows restarts.

Open InterGUI

Open “2. application (64 bit)” for the 64-bit app or “3. application (32 bit)” for the 32-bit app. Run interGUI.exe.

If it does not work

  • Restart Windows if you installed the driver but angle snapping has no effect.
  • Keep InterGUI or InterAccel running; closing both stops the mouse adjustment.
  • If InterGUI does not start, confirm the installed Visual C++ package matches the application folder.
