1. 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
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
