1. 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.
