  Windows 9x
  Logitech MouseWare drivers will be removed from the system if
  setup finds alternate compatible drivers for a device in
  MSMOUSE.INF. Should this not be the case you can manually
  change the driver to another one as described in section 1.3.
  
  
3.   Features
  
3.1  Zooming
  
  In Windows 9x and Windows NT 4.0, some applications, such as
  Office97, support 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 compatible and supports the zoom
  function.
  
  
4.   Troubleshooting
  
4.1  Detection Issues with USB Mice
  
  Please note that USB mice are only supported under Windows 98.
  
  If your USB mouse is not detected properly or does not
  functions, please use the following steps to check the Mouse
  icon under the Device Manager.
  
  Click on "Start", "Settings", then "Control Panel". Double
  click on the System icon and select the Device Manager tab.
  Open the Mouse icon by clicking on the (+) plus sign and verify
  there is a mouse icon that states, "HID-compliant mouse", and
  another entry that states the name of your USB device.  If
  there are any errors reported on these icons by exclamation
  points or red X's, highlight these icons and click the "Remove"
  button.  Once these icons have been removed, click the
  "Refresh" button and allow Windows 98 to re-detect the pointing
  device. Open the Mouse icon again and verify that there are no
  errors reported. Power down the computer system and restart
  Windows. Test the USB device to see if it is now functional.
  
4.2  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
     adapters, connect the mouse to the computer through the
     serial port. Reboot and check if the mouse is detected
     properly.
  
  3) If adapter(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.
  
4.3  Conflicts with Modems and other Serial Devices
  
  On bootup, the Logitech mouse drivers search all PS/2 and COM
 ports for possible pointing devices.  If your modem or other
 serial device no longer functions after installing Logitech
 mouse drivers, you must eliminate the COM port your modem is on
 from the search as shown below.
  
  1) Windows 9x
     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 COM port that the
     affected serial device is using.
  
  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 COM port
     that the affected serial device is using.
  
4.4  Power Management Problems
  
  If your mouse freezes when waking your PC up from suspend, in
  Windows 9x run Regedit.exe and edit the key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\MouseWare\CurrentVersion\T
  echnical\APMMode="Off"

4.5  Logitech Enhanced Mouse Control Panel is not Updated
  
  Under Windows 9x if the Mouse properties has not been updated
  to Logitech 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 9x 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 Logitech Mouse
  Control Center.
  
  
4.6  Scrolling/wheel related issues
  
  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.
  
 Please note that the scrolling mouse functions for touchpads do
 only work with Logitech touchpads. This is the case if you can
 find a "Touchpad" tab in the mouse control panel. Alternatively
 you can search for the following key in the registry:
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\MouseWare\CurrentVersion\T
 ouchScroll.
  In order to look at the registry click the "Start" button and
  select "Run". Type "regedit" in the open line and click on the
  OK button.
  Note that the information in the Mouseware help file concerning
  touchpad support only applies to Logitech touchpads.

4.7  Cordless Desktop
  
  1) Keyboard loses connection with system
     This can occur if the keyboard channel button is pressed
     while the system is turned off or in suspend mode. Turn the
     system on or resume from suspend and press the keyboard
     channel button located on the right side of the keyboard.
     If the keyboard still does not work, follow the "Connect
     procedure" on the Easy Installation card enclosed with this
     package.
  
  2) Pressing Connect has no response from software
     If you receive no response from the software after the
     connect button is pressed, please do the following:
     - Wait at least 30 seconds before pressing the connect
       button again.
     - Check to see if your mouse and keyboard are working. If
       they are working, you do not need to reconnect them.
     - Press the connect button on the receiver and then press
       the channel button on one of the devices. If the connect
       button flashes, the device did connect successfully.
     
     If the devices are still not working, do the following:
     - Shut down your system
     - Remove the batteries from the devices
     - Restart your system
     - Put the batteries back into the devices
     - Perform the connect procedure again.
  
  3) Keyboard Only Connected -- no cordless features
     If the keyboard is connected to the computer without the
     cordless mouse, you will not receive any cordless software
     features for the keyboard.  This includes the Cordless Page
     in Keyboard Properties, battery status and task bar icons.
  
  4) Battery Status
     - Battery Status Low message appears after little use of the
       keyboard.
       Make sure you are using alkaline batteries in both the
       mouse and keyboard. If you are using alkaline batteries
       and the message still appears, change the batteries in the
       device.
  
     - Battery Status unknown message appears for the keyboard.
       The battery status for the keyboard is activated after 100
       keystrokes. Providing the keyboard is working as expected,
       this message is not a problem. If the keyboard is not
       working, please follow the connect procedure instructions
       on the enclosed Easy Installation Card.
  
  5) Mouse cursor is erratic
  Replace batteries.
  
  6) Keyboard misses keystrokes or keys repeat
