WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE MouseWare works with any Logitech or Microsoft-compatible pointing device(s). This release includes a number of new features, mainly for Windows 95 support. There is a new setup program that runs under Windows 3.1X and Windows 95. Also included is a new Windows 95 user interface and drivers. For more information about using MouseWare under Windows 95, see the section titled: "Windows 95" below. 2. WINDOWS 95 2.1 Loading Drivers Only Windows 95 has the ability to load device drivers without running the Setup program. Loading the devices drivers this way, however, does not install the user interface programs. Windows 95 can load device drivers in two ways: First, you can use the Device Manager which is accessed through the System icon in the Windows 95 Control Panel. Select the entry for the mouse, go to the driver page and select Change Driver. When prompted, press the Have Disk button to load the driver from the floppy. The second method is to run the Add New Hardware Wizard from the Windows 95 Control Panel. Have the Hardware Wizard conduct a complete search for new devices, then use the Have Disk option to copy the mouse driver from the floppy disk. 2.2 Uninstall Program MouseWare can be removed from Windows 95 by running the Uninstall program. To access this program, click on the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Windows 95 Control Panel. Select MouseWare and press the Remove button. The uninstall program will remove all control center files but will not remove the mouse driver itself. 3. DOS AND WINDOWS 3.1X This version of MouseWare will not install on DOS only machines. You need either Windows 3.1X or Windows 95 on your system. With MouseWare, a MouseWare group is created to include the new program icons. You can also access the MouseWare Control Center via the mouse icon in the Windows Control Panel. 3.1 Manually Decompressing Files Several files on the installation disk have been compressed. These files must be decompressed before you can use them. The SETUP program automatically decompresses these files during installation. However, should the need arise, we have provided a method for you to manually decompress these files. Compressed files have file names that end with a percent sign (%). To decompress a file manually, use the LGEXPAND.EXE utility provided on the installation disk. For example, to decompress the file "WMOUSECC.EXE" to your hard disk, type: A:\lgexpand A:\WMOUSECC.EX% C:\MOUSE\WMOUSECC.EXE Please make sure that the destination directory (C:\MOUSE in this example) exists before you issue this command. 3.2 Installing For DOSSHELL Load the DOS mouse driver prior to loading DOSSHELL in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Also, do not launch Windows from DOSSHELL, which may result in a loss of mouse functionality under Windows. Nor should you attempt to load the DOS mouse driver in a DOS box under Windows. 3.3 Loading the Driver into High Memory It is recommended that you do not use "LOADHI" to load the DOS Mouse Driver, because the driver will optimize the use of available upper memory automatically and free up conventional memory. 3.4 Smart Move Feature When Smart Move is enabled, the cursor automatically goes to the default push button when a dialog or message box appears. For some applications that use non-standard dialog boxes and/or non-standard buttons, this feature may not work all the time. If the dialog box does not have a default command button, Smart Move moves the cursor to the first button it finds. The cursor is not moved if it cannot find a button. If you prefer to have the cursor move to the center, or upper left corner of the dialog box if no button is found, use a text editor, like Notepad, and edit the file C:\MOUSE\MOUSECC.INI. [Button Assignments] MoveTo=Center or MoveTo=TopLeft To set it back to default, remove the "MoveTo=" line. 3.5 Changing the Keyboard Override The Keyboard Override for disabling the Windows shortcuts temporarily is the Control key. If you would like to change it to the Shift key, or set it to none, use a text editor, like Notepad, and edit the file C:\MOUSE\MOUSECC.INI. [Button Assignments] Disabler=Shift or Disabler=Off To reinstate the default, remove the "Disabler=" line. 3.6 Two Button Mouse Chording If you have a two button mouse, pressing the right and left button simultaneously can act as a third button, we call this feature "chording". 3.7 Support for COM 3 and COM 4 MouseWare includes support for COM 3 and COM 4 under both DOS and Windows. This also includes support for atypical addresses and IRQs. To enable a search for such a port some small changes need to be made in the MouseDrv.ini file. First "COM3" or "COM4" must be added to the PortSearchOrder line in the [Global] section. Next, the "BaseAddress=" and "IRQValue=" lines in the [COM3] or [COM4] section of the file must reflect the actual values of the port. Once this is done, the device should work following system reboot. 4. OS/2 Support 4.1 Installing To OS/2 OS/2 has three-button support for Logitech serial and PS/2 mouse, and two-button support for Logitech bus mice. OS/2 should automatically detect and support the Logitech mouse connected to your system when OS/2 is installed. If your Logitech mouse does not work properly after installing OS/2, you will have to manually select the proper Logitech mouse driver. Please follow these steps to correct the problem: 1) Determine the type of mouse you own. If you have a PS/2 or bus mouse, skip down to step 2. If you have a Logitech serial mouse you need to know if it is M-series or C-Series. Look at the bottom of your mouse, if it says "CA", "CC", "CE" or "C7," then you own a C-Series mouse, otherwise you own an M-Series mouse. 2) Double click the OS/2 System icon. 3) Double click the System Setup icon. 4) Double click the Selective Install icon. 5) Select the Mouse option and press Enter. 6) If you are using a PS/2 or M-Series serial mouse, you may select any of the following: "PS/2 [tm] Style Pointing Device", "Serial Pointing Device", "Logitech M-Series Mouse". 7) Select the entry "Bus Style Mouse" if you have a bus mouse. 8) If you have a Logitech C-series mouse and are running OS/2 version 2.1, select "Logitech [tm] C-Series Serial Mouse". If, you are running version 2.0, choose "Logitech [tm] Mouse". 4.2 Win-OS/2 Support In Win-OS/2 full screen mode, full functionality is available. To install MouseWare under Win-OS/2, do the following: 1) Double click the "Command Prompts" icon on the OS/2 desktop. 2) Double click on the "Win-OS/2 full screen" icon. 3) Run the SETUP program from the MouseWare diskette. When running Windows applications from the OS/2 desktop the acceleration and speed sensitivity features will be disabled. Do not run Win-OS/2 from a DOS box while running MouseWare, your mouse will not function properly under these circumstances. 4.3 DOS Under OS/2 2.x MouseWare DOS functionality will not be available in DOS under OS/2. Your mouse will be controlled by OS/2. 5. Windows NT Support If your mouse is not working, try selecting the device driver as follows: 1. In the Program Manager, go to the MAIN group. 2. Select WINDOWS NT SETUP. 3. Select OPTIONS, Change System Settings. 4. Click the down arrow next to the mouse selection and choose one of the following: If you have a Logitech serial Mouse, select "Logitech Serial Mouse", If you have a Logitech PS/2 (Mouse Port) mouse select "Logitech MousePort Mouse", If you have a Logitech Bus Mouse select "Microsoft (green buttons)" or "Logitech Bus Mouse". Do not install MouseWare in Windows NT. Use the Logitech mouse driver included in the Windows NT release. This driver has full support for all the Logitech pointing devices. To change the mouse settings, run the Windows NT Control Panel. 6. TROUBLESHOOTING 6.1 Restoring Old AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI, and SYSTEM.INI The installation program saves these files starting with the .000 extension, and increments them to the next available numbered extension if it finds an existing file with the same name and extension. 6.2 Mouse Detection Problems 6.2.1 Mouse connected to the MousePort 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 with your computer documentation regarding the SETUP menu). 2) If you have a mouse with both serial and mouse port adapters, connect it to the computer through the serial port. Reboot and check if the mouse is detected properly. 3) If adapter(s) were not including 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. 4) If you must connect the mouse through the mouse port, add the following modifications to the C:\MOUSE\MOUSEDRV.INI file, reboot and check if the mouse is detected properly: [Technical] ForcePS2EquipmentFlag=On If the problem persists, please check for a possible computer BIOS ROM upgrade from your computer manufacturer. Some notebook systems such as IBM Thinkpad, 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. 6.2.2 Mouse on the Serial Port If your mouse is connected to the serial port and is not detected by the system, add the following modification to the MOUSEDRV.INI file, reboot and check if the mouse is detected properly: [Technical] Timing=Hardware 6.3 Toshiba Notebooks and IBM ThinkPad On Toshiba 3400 series sub-notebooks and the ThinkPad line of IBM laptops, if the "pointing device mode" parameter in the computer's setup is set to "simultaneous", an external mouse connected to the mouse port will be identified as a generic two-button mouse. If this external mouse has three buttons, the following modifications should be made to the MOUSEDRV.INI file: [PS2] NumberOfButtons=3 The connected device model may also be specified. In Windows 95 the information is stored in the registry instead of the MOUSEDRV.INI file. Using the Registry Editor, REGEDIT, search for the NumberOfButtons key and change its value to "3" instead of "2." The REGEDIT program is not easy to use, so try this alternative: Copy the text between the dashed lines to a file and save it on your hard disk using the name "PS2.REG" ---------------- REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\MouseWare\ CurrentVersion\PS2\0000] "NumberOfButtons"="3" ---------------- Then open the folder containing PS2.REG and double-click on PS2.REG. Reboot your system and the mouse should work correctly. 7.
