=====================
Part 1: GENERAL NOTES
=====================
1.1 Installing IntelliPoint software on Windows 95
When you install the minimum functionality for IntelliPoint
software on Windows 95 using Add New Hardware in the Windows
Control Panel, you may need to define the path for the
IntelliPoint files. For example, when installing from Drive A,
you need to define A: as the path.
To completely install IntelliPoint functionality, you need to
run Setup.exe from your product disk.
1.2 Replacing a two-button pointing device with an IntelliMouse or
IntelliMouse TrackBall pointing device
When you replace your two-button pointing device with an
IntelliMouse or IntelliMouse TrackBall, you need to install the
accompanying IntelliPoint software to enable the wheel and
wheel button functionality. If you install your IntelliMouse
or IntelliMouse TrackBall pointing device without installing
the IntelliPoint software, the wheel and wheel button may not
work.
NOTE: When you replace your two-button pointing device with an
IntelliMouse or IntelliMouse TrackBall, you may not see a
message informing you of new hardware installed when you restart
your computer.
>>>To fix this problem:
1 Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
2 Double-click System, click the Device Manager tab, and then
click Mouse.
3 Select the serial device, for example Standard Serial Mouse,
and then click Remove.
4 Restart your computer.
If your computer does not detect your IntelliMouse or
IntelliMouse TrackBall after restarting, try running Setup.exe
on your product disk.
1.3 Using CorelDRAW 6.00.112 with IntelliPoint software
If you use CorelDRAW version 6.00.112 with IntelliPoint software,
you may get a general protection fault when you open CorelDRAW.
Until you receive your upgrade to CorelDRAW version 6.00.167 or
later, you can temporarily fix this error by disabling
Point32.exe while using CorelDRAW.
To disable Point32.exe, do one of the following:
* In Windows 95, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to display the Close
Program dialog box. Select Point32, and then click End Task.
* In Windows NT 4.0, press Ctrl+Alt+Del, then click the Task
Manager button. In the Task Manager, select Point32, and then
click End Task.
* In Windows NT 3.51, use File Manager to rename the
file Point32.exe to another name, and then restart your
computer. Click OK when Windows informs you that a program
listed on the run line is not available. Remember to restore
the original name once you upgrade CorelDRAW.
1.4 Using the wheel in windows with multiple scroll bars
Windows that contain frames can have multiple scroll bars that
may require you to click the content within the window to
activate scrolling with the wheel. A frame is a separate,
scrolling area within the window.
For example, when using Microsoft Internet Explorer, if your
window contains multiple frames with scroll bars, you may need
to click the content of the window to activate scrolling with
the wheel.
1.5 Using the wheel with Packard Bell's Media Controller
The wheel and wheel button do not function properly with
Packard Bell's Media Controller. If you have problems with
Packard Bell's Media Controller, connect your IntelliMouse or
IntelliMouse TrackBall to the mouse port on the back of your
computer.
1.6 Using the PS/2 port on your laptop computer
Many laptop computers have an internal (PS/2) pointing device
(IPD) that may cause your IntelliMouse or IntelliMouse TrackBall
to work improperly when attached to the PS/2 port. The problem
is most likely because both the IPD and your IntelliMouse or
IntelliMouse TrackBall are trying to use the PS/2 port at the
same time.
To fix this problem, try one of the following:
* Disable the IPD or Simultaneous mode, using the BIOS setup
program. Not all laptop computers have this feature. See your
laptop computer documentation to change settings with your
BIOS setup program.
* Connect your pointing device to the serial port.
1.7 Using a BIOS setup program to enable your mouse port
If you enable your mouse port (PS/2 port) using a BIOS setup
program, your computer will detect a PS/2 device when you use
Add New Hardware, even without a PS/2 device connected. When your
computer detects a nonexistent pointing device, you will see an
exclamation point beside the PS/2 Mouse icon.
>>>To display the PS/2 Mouse icon:
1 Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
2 Double-click System, click the Device Manager tab, and then
click Mouse.
To fix this problem, do not enable your mouse port using your
BIOS setup program.
==================================
Part 2: NOTES FOR WINDOWS NT USERS
==================================
2.1 Installing Windows NT 4.0 when IntelliPoint software is installed
If you upgrade to Windows NT 4.0 from Windows NT 3.5x with
IntelliPoint, the Windows NT 4.0 default Mouse Properties
software replaces the IntelliPoint software. Although
Windows NT 4.0 works with the IntelliMouse and IntelliMouse
TrackBall, not all of the IntelliPoint features are available
with the Windows NT 4.0 Mouse Properties software. To have
access to all of the IntelliPoint features, reinstall the
IntelliPoint software.
2.2 Installing IntelliPoint software requires system-administrator
security privileges
You need system-administrator security privileges to install
IntelliPoint software on Windows NT systems. For information on
system-administrator security, see your Windows NT documentation.
2.3 Installing IntelliType software
In Windows NT 3.51 only, if you lose the wheel and wheel button
functionality after installing IntelliType 1.1 software
(available with the Microsoft Natural Keyboard), simply
run Setup to reinstall the IntelliPoint 2.1 software, which
updates the files needed to work with your IntelliMouse or
IntelliMouse TrackBall.
2.4 Attaching multiple pointing devices in Windows NT
If you attach both an IntelliMouse pointing device and a second
mouse of a different type (such as a Microsoft Mouse without
a wheel), you may encounter the following problems:
* If you reset the right button to be the primary button using
the Button Selection feature on the Basics tab in IntelliPoint,
the second mouse does not recognize the change.
* You cannot use the second mouse to set Orientation on the
Productivity tab in IntelliPoint, and the second mouse does
not recognize any changes you make using the Orientation
feature.
* In Windows NT 3.51 only, the wheel and wheel button on the
IntelliMouse pointing device do not function.
NOTE: This does not apply to an external mouse attached to a
laptop with an internal pointing device.
2.5 Using an IntelliMouse TrackBall or a dedicated PS/2 IntelliMouse
on Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3
If you do not install IntelliPoint software on Windows NT 4.0
Service Pack 3, you cannot use the wheel or wheel button on an
IntelliMouse TrackBall or a dedicated PS/2 IntelliMouse. You
may have a dedicated PS/2 IntelliMouse if you purchased it
from an OEM.
To fix this problem, install IntelliPoint software.
2.6 Using a Cybex AutoBoot 4xP switch
When using a Cybex AutoBoot 4xP switch with your IntelliMouse
or IntelliMouse TrackBall, your pointing device may have problems
working with attached computers. The Cybex AutoBoot 4xP attempts
to detect the pointing device, but results in erratic operation.
To fix the problem on Windows NT, do one of the following:
* Upgrade the XPLU/LCI firmware to revision C02 (or higher)
and XPAC/XPAB firmware to revision C04 (or higher).
* Disable the wheel using the Registry Editor.
CAUTION
Incorrect use of the Registry Editor can cause serious
problems that may require reinstallation of Windows NT. Read
"Changing Keys and Values" within the Registry Editor online
Help for instructions on how to edit with the registry. Use
the Registry Editor at your own risk.
>>>To disable the wheel with the Registry Editor:
1 Create an Emergency Repair Disk using the Repair Disk
utility, rdisk.exe, located in the \WinNT\system32 folder.
2 Click the Start button, click Run, type REGEDT32 in the
Open field, and then press Enter.
3 In the Registry Editor, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, open System,
open CurrentControlSet, open Services, open i8042prt, and then
click Parameters.
4 In the right window, double-click EnableWheelDetection.
5 Type 0 in the Value data field, and then click OK.
6 Close the Registry Editor.
7 Restart your computer.
2.7 Panning in Windows Explorer is disabled in Windows NT 4.0
Windows NT 4.0 includes scrolling, but does not include panning;
therefore, you cannot use the IntelliPoint panning feature with
Windows Explorer in Windows NT 4.0. Panning enables users to
click and hold the wheel button to scroll through the window.
2.8 Driver or service fails to start in Windows NT 3.51 or later
When you install IntelliPoint software and then restart your
computer, you may receive a message saying that a driver or
service failed to start. This message is caused by the system
trying to find all of the devices on each PS/2 or serial port.
Receiving this message does not affect the performance of your
pointing device.
>>>To fix this problem:
1 Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
2 Double-click Devices.
3 Select the mouse port not in use, mssermou, and click Startup.
4 Select Disabled, and then click OK.
5 Close all applications and restart your computer.
NOTE: Disabling mssermou will prevent your computer from
automatically detecting a serial mouse if you connect one to
your computer.
2.9 Using the wheel with PointCast Network software in Windows NT 4.0
If you install PointCast Network software after installing
IntelliPoint software, you may experience problems with the
wheel functionality. Installing PointCast Network software
after installing IntelliPoint software disables the Double-Click
and Help (F1) features if you assigned them to the wheel.
To fix this problem, upgrade to the latest version of PointCast,
which is a 32-bit version.
2.10 Preventing serial device warnings in your Event Viewer
When you use a Microsoft Mouse, IntelliMouse, or
IntelliMouse TrackBall in Windows NT 3.51 or later, without
a second serial device installed, you may receive an entry
in the Event Viewer for mssermou each time you start your
computer. This entry is only a warning that no serial device
was detected and does not affect the use of your IntelliMouse
or IntelliMouse TrackBall.
>>>To see if you have mssermou warnings in your Event Viewer:
1 Click the Start button, point to Programs, point to
Administrative Tools (Common), and then click Event Viewer.
2 Scroll down to locate mssermou entries.
>>>To prevent mssermou warnings in your Event Viewer:
1 Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
2 Double-click Devices.
3 Select mssermou, and click Startup.
4 Select Disabled, and then click OK.
5 Close all applications and restart your computer.
NOTE: Disabling mssermou will prevent your computer from
automatically detecting a serial mouse if you connect
one to your computer.
