 ________________________________________
 
1.   Installation
 
  MouseWare supports Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, 
  Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
 
  Before installing any software under Windows NT 4.0, we 
  strongly recommend you create an Emergency Repair Disk 
  using the Repair Disk utility provided by the system 
  (RDISK.EXE).
 
  Please note that USB mice are only supported under Windows 
  98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
 
1.1  Standard Installation
 
  Run Setup.exe to install the MouseWare software.
 
1.2  Unattended Installation for Networking & Corporate Users
 
  One may install MouseWare in unattended mode by executing 
  the following command:
  <path to MouseWare installation>\setup.exe -s
  The installation program terminates and returns to Windows 
  at the end of the installation.
  Note: This is an advanced feature where no visible feedback 
  on the status of the installation in progress is given. 
  Aborting the proceeding installation may leave the system 
  in unstable conditions. The configurations of connected 
  pointing devices default to pre-defined values that are 
  expected to be reasonable for most users. 
  
2.   Uninstall Program
 
  MouseWare can be removed from Windows by clicking the 
  Add/Remove Programs icon in the Control Panel. Select 
  MouseWare and click the "Remove" button.
  
  Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me
  MouseWare drivers will be removed from the system if setup 
  finds alternate compatible drivers for a device in 
  MSMOUSE.INF.
 
 
3.   Troubleshooting


  
3.1  Detection Issues with USB Mice
 
  Please note that USB mice are only supported under Windows 
  98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
 
  If your USB mouse is not detected properly or does not 
  function, please use the following steps to troubleshoot 
  the problem.
  Note: if you have a PS/2 mouse, you can install and use it 
  to follow the procedure. Otherwise, use the keyboard to 
  navigate.
  
  - Click the Start button or press Ctrl-Esc to bring up the 
  Start menu, select "Settings", then "Control Panel".
  - Select the System icon and press Enter to open the 
  System Properties.
  - From the System Properties, select the Device Manager 
  tab. On Windows 2000 and Windows XP, select the Hardware 
  tab, then press the Device Manager button.
  - Under the Mouse section, there should be a mouse icon 
  that states: "HID-compliant mouse". On Windows 98 or ME, 
  you should also see another entry that states the name of 
  your USB device. If there is a yellow exclamation or red X 
  mark on either of these entries, highlight it and press the 
  Delete key to remove it.
  - Once the problem entries have been removed, press the 
  "Refresh" button and allow Windows to re-detect the mouse. 
  On Windows 2000 and Windows XP, select "Scan for Hardware 
  Changes" from the Action menu.
  - Look at the entries under the Mouse section again, 
  verify that there are no errors reported.
  - Power down the computer and restart Windows. Test the 
  USB device to see if it is now functional.
  
  Other troubleshooting tips:
  - If you have problem getting the mouse to work on a hub, 
  try connecting the mouse directly to the USB port on the 
  system.
  - Try a second USB mouse in the same port or try the USB 
  mouse on a second system to verify it is working correctly. 
  If needed contact the vendor of your system to verify the 
  USB ports are correctly enabled, or if updated drivers are 
  available.
  - Uninstall MouseWare and see if the USB mouse works with 
  the native Microsoft drivers provided on your Windows CD-
  ROM.
 
 
3.2  Detection Problems with PS/2 Pointing Devices
 
  If your mouse is connected to the mouse port and is not 
  detected by the system, attempt the following step(s):
  
  1) Your mouse port might need to be enabled through the 
  SETUP menu of your computer. Please check your 
  computer documentation regarding the SETUP menu.
   
  2) If you have a mouse with both serial and mouse port 
  adapters, connect the mouse to the computer through the 
  serial port. Reboot and check if the mouse is detected 
  properly.
   
  3) If adapter(s) were not included in your package, your 
  mouse was designed to work on only one type of port 
  (Serial OR PS/2). Refer to your package for the type 
  of port your mouse supports.
  
  If the problem persists, please check for a possible 
  computer BIOS ROM upgrade from your computer manufacturer.
  
  Some notebook systems have both an 
  external Mouse Port and an integrated Pointing Stick, which 
  is connected to the Mouse Port. If your mouse is having 
  difficulty running on the Mouse Port of this type of 
  system, try using the serial port instead.
 
 
3.3  Conflicts with Modems and other Serial Devices
 
  On bootup, the Logitech mouse drivers search all PS/2 and 
  COM ports for possible pointing devices. If your modem or 
  other serial device no longer functions after installing 
  Logitech mouse drivers, you must eliminate the COM port your 
  modem is on from the search as shown below.
  
  1) Windows 9x 
  If you have problems operating other serial devices 
  together with MouseWare, run "Regedit.exe", edit the 
  key: 
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\MouseWare\
  CurrentVersion\Global\PortSearchOrder and remove the COM port 
  that the affected serial device is using.
   
  2) Windows NT 4.0
  If you have problems operating other serial devices 
  together with MouseWare, in Windows NT 4.0 run 
  "Regedit.exe", edit the key: 
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\
  lsermous\Parameters\Global\PortSearchOrder and remove the 
  COM port that the affected serial device is using.
   
3.4  Power Management Problems Under Windows 9x
   
  If your mouse freezes when waking your PC up from suspend, 
  in Windows 9x (Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me) run 
  "Regedit.exe", then open the registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\MouseWare\CurrentVersion\
  Technical\APMMode
  and set APMMode="Off"
  
3.5  Enhanced Mouse Control Panel is not Updated Under Windows 9x
  
  Under Windows 9x (Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me), 
  if the Mouse Properties have not been updated to Enhanced 
  Mouse Control Center, verify you have installed MouseWare. 
  If this does not resolve this issue, it may be necessary to 
  do a registry clean-up. Remove the following folders in 
  the Windows 9x Registry.
  
  Select the "Start" button, then "Run". In the "Open" 
  line type "regedit", and click on the OK button.
   
  Open the following Registry folders:
   
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\
  Mouse\xxxx
   
  Remove all of the 0000, 0001, 0002, etc. under the Mouse 
  folder until there are no folders remaining under the Mouse 
  folder. Now shutdown your system and restart. Open the 
  Mouse Properties and check to see if you now have the 
  Enhanced Mouse Control Center.
  
3.6  Scrolling/wheel related issues
  
  If your mouse is equipped with a wheel and the wheel does 
  not scroll, verify the following:
   
  1) Verify that the Logitech control panel is installed 
  properly. If you click the Start button and select 
  Settings, Control Panel, the mouse icon should bring up 
  a Logitech control panel. Otherwise reinstall 
  MouseWare. 
   
  2) If your wheel only works in Microsoft Office compatible 
  applications, go to the Buttons page in the mouse 
  control panel and verify that the check box "Use MS 
  Office Compatible Scroll Only" is unchecked.
  
  Please note that the scrolling mouse functions for 
  touchpads do only work with Logitech touchpads. This is the 
  case if you can find a "Touchpad" tab in the mouse control 
  panel. Alternatively you can search for the following key 
  in the registry:
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\MouseWare\CurrentVersion\
  TouchScroll
  
  In order to look at the registry click the "Start" button 
  and select "Run". Type "regedit" in the "Open" line and 
  click on the OK button.
  
  Note that the information in the MouseWare help file 
  concerning touchpad support only applies to Logitech 
  touchpads.
