1.   Windows 95
  
1.1  Loading Drivers Only
  
  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 (or
  Update Driver). Insert the driver disk and press the Have Disk
  button when prompted.
  
  If you are using the OSR2.x version of Windows 95, follow the
  Update Device Driver Wizard to install the driver.
  
  
1.2  Uninstall Program
  
  MouseWare can be removed from Windows 95 by clicking the
  Add/Remove Programs icon in the Windows 95 Control Panel.
  Select Logitech MouseWare and press the Remove button.
  
  The driver itself cannot be removed by this process. You can
  manually change the driver to another one as described in
  section 1.1
  
  
2.   DOS Installation
  
  The MouseWare installation program will only run if Windows is
  installed on your machine. If your computer runs DOS only,
  follow the instructions below:
  
   1) Insert the MouseWare diskette into the floppy drive.
   
   2) Change your DOS prompt to match the floppy drive being
      used.
   
   3) At the A: prompt type:
      T A: C:\Mouse [Enter]
   
      Or at the B: prompt type:
      T B: C:\Mouse [Enter]
   
   4) Pressing any key will start the copy process.
   
   5) When the manual install is complete, you will need to edit
      the AUTOEXEC.BAT. Please add the following lines:
   
      SET LMOUSE=C:\MOUSE
      C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE
   
   6) Reboot the computer to make these changes take effect.
   
  You can customize the mouse driver settings. From the C:\MOUSE
  directory, type "Mouse /?" for a list of these parameters.
  
  
3.   Cloaking Feature for DOS and Windows 3.1
  
  The MouseWare DOS mouse driver works in conjunction with a
  special interface program called "Cloaking". The CLOAKING.EXE
  interface program allows the DOS mouse driver, MOUSE.EXE, to be
  loaded in extended memory, freeing valuable conventional and
  upper memory for DOS applications. CLOAKING.EXE is
  automatically installed during the standard MouseWare
  installation for Windows 3.1.
  
  Cloaking works in conjunction with a supported memory manager
  to enable the mouse driver to load in extended memory, using a
  mere 1k of conventional or upper memory.
  
  CLOAKING.EXE will work with any of the following extended
  memory managers:
  
   EMM386.EXE               Microsoft
   HIMEM.SYS                Microsoft
   RM386.EXE 3.03 or later  Helix
   QEMM386.SYS 7.1          Quarterdeck
   386MAX.SYS 5.0           Qualitas
  
  You will need to be running one of these programs in order to
  use CLOAKING.EXE. The EMM386.EXE and HIMEM.SYS programs are
  included with DOS versions 5.0 and above, and with Windows.
  
  Installing Cloaking:
  
  Under Windows 3.1, the installation program copies CLOAKING.EXE
  in the mouse directory and loads CLOAKING.EXE in your
  AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This will occur if your DOS version is 6.0
  or greater, you are running EMM386.EXE, and you are not already
  loading a version of CLOAKING.EXE.
  
  If you are running DOS only, you will need to do the changes
  manually. If you wish to install CLOAKING.EXE in the CONFIG.SYS
  file, add the line: "DEVICE=C:\MOUSE\CLOAKING.EXE" after the
  supported memory manager is loaded. If you wish to install
  cloaking in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, add the line:
  "C:\MOUSE\CLOAKING.EXE" before the mouse driver is loaded.
  
  
4.   Troubleshooting
  
4.1  Detection Problems with 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 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  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) Verify that the driver is loaded correctly. Click the Start
      button and select Settings, Control Panel, System, Device
      Manager tab. Double Click on Mouse and if the driver used
      by this device is not Logitech, reinstall MouseWare.
   
   3) 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.
   
   4) The wheel will not operate in Windows 3.1 or in DOS.
      However, the wheel button will operate as a regular middle
      button.
  
  
4.3  Conflicts with other Serial Devices
  
  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\CurrentVersion\G
  lobal\PortSearchOrder and remove the unused COM ports.
  
  In Windows 3.1 edit the parameter "PortSearchOrder" in the
  [Global] section of the file MOUSEDRV.INI
  
  
4.4  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"
  
  In Windows 3.1 edit the parameter "APMMode" in the [Technical]
  section of the file MOUSEDRV.INI
  
  
4.5  Incorrect Mouse Picture displayed in Mouse Properties
  
  If the picture displayed in the Mouse Properties box is
  incorrect, and on the Devices Tab it states "Pointing Device on
  Unknown Port".  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 safely your system and restart it.
  Open the Mouse Properties and check the Devices Tab and verify
  the correct picture of your pointing device.
  
  
4.6  Serial Port Detection Problems in DOS and Windows 3.1
  
  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 and reboot:
  
  [Technical]
  Timing=Hardware
  
  or load the DOS driver with the following parameter
  MOUSE.EXE NOINI
  
  
5.   Manual Actions
  
5.1  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 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.
  
5.2  Manual Installation for Windows 3.1 (T.BAT)
   
  If you experience difficulty running the installation program,
  you may want to do a manual installation. Refer to section 2
  and proceed with the installation for DOS.
  
  Before rebooting you need to edit the SYSTEM.INI file located
  in the WINDOWS directory. Please change the following lines to
  read as follows:
   
      [boot]
      mouse.drv=C:\MOUSE\LMOUSE.DRV
   
      [386Enh]
      mouse=C:\MOUSE\LVMD.386
   
  
5.3  Manual Installation for Windows 95 (T95.BAT)
  
  If you experience difficulty running the installation program,
  under Windows 95, try launching the installer while running
  Windows 95 in Safe Mode. If this fails then install MouseWare
  manually.
  
  To install MouseWare manually under Windows 95, restart your
  computer and press the F8 key when "starting Windows95"
  appears. Select Command prompt only from the Microsoft Startup
  menu. At the MS-DOS prompt type "A:" or "B:" depending on the
  drive you are using. Then type "T95 A:" or "T95 B:". This will
  expand all the compressed files. After running this you will
  need to load the drivers. See section 1.1 for a description on
  how to do this.
  
  
6.   Features
  
6.1  Zooming in Windows 95
  In Windows 95, 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.
