Logitech Cyberman Requires MS-DOS Mode

 * }

Q129562

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
The Logitech Cyberman does not work correctly when you try to use it with an MS-DOS-based program in a window. This problem usually occurs with MS-DOS-based games.

CAUSE
The Cyberman does not function correctly in a window because the Windows 95 Logitech mouse driver does not support Cyberman. The real-mode Cyberman drivers for Windows 3.x provided by Logitech do not work correctly in a windowed session in Windows 95.

RESOLUTION
Run MS-DOS-based programs that require the Logitech Cyberman's 3-D functionality using the MS-DOS Mode option.

MORE INFORMATION
When you upgrade a system configured with the Logitech Cyberman from Windows or Windows for Workgroups 3.x to Windows 95, the real-mode driver for the Cyberman is moved from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to the DOSSTART.BAT file for MS-DOS Mode compatibility. Setup also removes the old Logitech mouse driver from the SYSTEM.INI file.

The hardware detection portion of Setup detects the Cyberman as a serial mouse and installs the Windows 95 driver for the serial mouse. This lets you use the Cyberman as a mouse with no 3-D capabilities in Windows 95.

Cyberman is manufactured by Logitech, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
