1. DESCRIPTION
M751_W95.EXE contains the 7.51 version of the Logitech mouse driver
for Windows 95.
NOTE: This is a mouse driver update ONLY. The driver works with any
Logitech pointing device(s) operating under Windows 95,
including previous versions of the Logitech Enhanced MouseWare
Control Center software for Windows 95.
This release DOES NOT include the Enhanced Mouse Control Center
with button assignments, and DOES NOT install the Purple Mouse
Icon in the Windows 95 Control Panel.
For a full retail release of the Logitech Enhanced MouseWare
software for Windows 95, please contact Logitech Sales.
Installation of this driver into Windows 95 will automatically set
the middle button of a Logitech 3 button mouse to function as a left
mouse button double click.
If you are using a Logitech 4 button roller mouse or a 4 button mouse
or trackball, the forth button (Thumb button) will be inactive.
Install the full retail release that shipped with your device for
full 4 button and roller functionality.
Additionally, we have included a DOS mouse driver for users who are
running DOS programs outside of Windows 95.
NOTE: This update was designed for Windows 95. Please do not
install it into environments other than those specified.
**********************************************************************
2. INSTALLATION
For purposes of these examples, we will assume the floppy drive is
the "A:" drive. If this is your "B:" drive, please substitute "B:" for
"A:" throughout the instructions below.
These examples also assume that Windows has been installed into the
directory C:\WINDOWS. If Windows has been installed into a directory
other than C:\WINDOWS, please substitute that directory for
C:\WINDOWS in all of the instructions below. For example, if the
step is to "Type CD\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and press [ENTER]", but Windows
is installed in the C:\WIN95 directory, please type "CD\WIN95\SYSTEM"
instead.
If you are not certain of the directory Windows is installed in, you
can find out by clicking on "Start", "Find", "Files or Folders". Type
in "WIN.COM" and press [ENTER]. When the listing of files found comes
up, look at the column titled "In Folder". This will show you where
Windows is installed. However, if multiple files are listed, you will
need to determine which folder is the directory Windows is installed.
2.1 Decompressing the files from M751_W95.EXE *************************
If you have not already done so, copy the M751_W95.EXE file into an
empty, temporary directory or onto a blank, formatted floppy
diskette. Once the file has been moved to one of these locations,
please follow these instructions:
- Launch Windows 95.
- Close any open applications.
- Click on "Start", "Find", then "Files or Folders".
NOTE: If you have copied the M751_W95.EXE file to a floppy diskette,
change the "Look in:" directory to search the "A:\" drive.
- Type "M751_W95.EXE" and press [ENTER].
- Double click the M751_W95 icon in the listing of files found. A
dialog box will appear asking you if you want the file to be
extracted to "C:\LOGITEMP". Click "UNZIP" to continue.
- Once the files have been successfully unzipped, click "OK".
- The unzip utility will close, and the READ_1ST.TXT file will open
in Windows Notepad. You may read through this file and print it
out for reference.

3. ADDITIONAL NOTES
Under Windows, some programs require the middle button to generate a
standard middle button event, instead of a Double Click (i.e. like in
a CAD application). If you are not running a Logitech Enhanced Mouse
Control Center to control the Button Assignments of the pointing
device, you may need to disable the default Double Click setting of
the driver and regain a standard middle mouse button click. To do
this, you will need to make the following modification in the
Windows 95 Registry:
NOTE: For information about how to edit the registry, view the
"Changing Keys And Values" on line Help topic in the Registry
Editor (REGEDIT.EXE). Make a backup copy of the registry
files (SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT) before you edit the registry.
WARNING: Using the Registry Editor incorrectly may cause symptoms
requiring a reinstallation of Windows 95. Logitech cannot
guarantee that issues resulting from the incorrect use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use the Registry Editor at
your own discretion. The Registry Editor should only be
used to make the following modifications. Please follow
the instructions below:
- Click on the "Start" button on the Windows 95 taskbar and select
"Run".
- On the Open line, type "C:\WINDOWS\REGEDIT.EXE" and click "OK".
- From the Registry Editor screen, double click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
- Double click on SOFTWARE.
- Double click on LOGITECH.
- Double click on MOUSEWARE.
- Double click on CURRENTVERSION.
- Find your device model from the list under "CurrentVersion" and
double click on that folder.
- Click on the "0000" folder and information should be displayed on
the right side of the Registry Editor screen.
- Under the "Name" column, double click on the "DoubleClick" entry
and the "Edit String" dialogue box should appear.
- Modify the "Value Data" line to read "000" and click the "OK"
button.
- Exit the Registry Editor (saving is automatic) and restart
Windows 95.
The middle button should now generate a standard middle button event.
