Installation 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). 1.1 Standard Installation Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 Run Setup.exe from the floppy diskette to install the MouseWare software. 1.2 Drivers Only Installation Windows 95, Windows 95 OSR2, and Windows NT 4.0 have 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 such as the Enhanced Mouse Control Center. Using the "Have Disk" function will install only the mouse drivers and will automatically set up the middle button of a 3/4 button mouse to do a double click. Windows 95, Windows OSR2 and Windows NT 4.0 1) Click on the "Start" button on the Windows Desktop. 2) Select "Settings", then "Control Panel". 3) From the Control Panel, double click on the Mouse Icon. 4) Select the "General" tab. 5) From the "General" tab, click on "Change". 6) Click the "Have Disk" button. 7) Insert the MouseWare Disk 1 into the disk drive. 8) When prompted, click the Browse button. 9) For Windows 95, or Windows OSR2, double Click on the "Win9x" folder. 10)For Windows NT 4.0 double click on the "Winnt" folder. 11)Click the "Open" or "OK" button. 12)Click on the "OK" button. 13)Select, "Show all Devices" 14)Under "Models", select the correct model that matches the pointing device type and click on the "OK" button. 15)Windows should now copy the updated mouse drivers to the system. 16)Click on "Close". 17)Windows should now ask you to restart the system for the changes to take effect, click on "YES" to restart the system. 1.3 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 tilde 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. 2. Uninstall Program MouseWare can be removed from Windows 95 and NT 4.0 by clicking the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Windows 95 or NT 4.0 Control Panel. Select MouseWare and press the Remove button. Windows 95 The driver itself cannot be removed by this process. You can manually change the driver to another one as described in section 1.3. 3. Features 3.1 Zooming in Windows 95 and NT 4.0 In Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, some applications, as Office97, support the zooming. To zoom in such applications, just press the [Ctrl] key and roll your mouse's wheel (if any) or use the Universal Scroll button assignment. Be sure your application is Office 97 compliant and supports the zoom function. 4. Troubleshooting 4.1 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 adaptors, connect the mouse to the computer through the serial port. Reboot and check if the mouse is detected properly. 3) If adaptor(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, 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. 4.2 Conflicts with other Serial Devices 1) Windows 95 If you have problems operating other serial devices together with MouseWare, in Windows 95 run Regedit.exe, edit the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\MouseWare\CurrentVersio n\Global\PortSearchOrder and remove the unused COM ports. 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\lsermou s\Parameters\Global\PortSearchOrder and remove the unused COM ports. 4.3 Power Management Problems If your mouse freezes when waking your PC up from suspend, in Windows 95 run Regedit.exe and edit the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\MouseWare\CurrentVersion\T echnical\APMMode="Off" 4.4 Enhanced Mouse Control Panel is not Updated Under Windows 95 if the Mouse properties has 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 95 Registry. Select the Start button, then Run, in the Open Line type C:\WINDOWS\REGEDIT.EXE and click on the OK button. Open the following Registry folders: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Mous e\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. 4.5 Problems Operating the Wheel 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 Office 97 compatible applications, go to the Buttons page in the mouse control panel and verify that the check box "Use Office 97 Compatible Scroll Only" is unchecked.Download Driver Pack
