LOGITECH MOUSE

The Windows Me Logitech driver supports Logitech MouseWare version 7.2 and later. All the features of MouseWare, including the programmability of the mouse buttons, work well with the new Windows Me driver.

If your version of MouseWare is earlier than version 7.2, use the Windows Me Device Manager to change the mouse type.

To change the mouse type:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2. Double-click System, and then click the Device Manager tab.

3. Click the plus (+) sign next to Mouse.

4. Double-click the mouse you want to update the driver for.

5. Click the Driver tab, and then click Update Driver.

6. When the wizard starts, follow the instructions on your screen.

If you use a Logitech serial mouse but have a PS/2 mouse port on your computer, Windows Me may not install the Logitech driver. If this is the case, use the settings on the Device Manager tab in the System Properties dialog box to change the PS/2 mouse setting to Logitech Serial Mouse.

MOUSE SYSTEMS OR GENIUS

=
==========

Windows Me does not have built-in drivers for the Mouse Systems or Genius three-button mouse. The standard mouse driver will work with these devices in their two-button mode.

MICROSOFT NATURAL KEYBOARDS

=
==============

Windows Me has built-in support for the Microsoft Natural Keyboard. The Windows logo keys have added functionality under the new operating system.

You will be unable to install IntelliType version 1.2 or earlier on a computer running Windows Me. If you upgrade to Windows Me over a previously installed Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 98 Second Edition configuration, Windows Setup will be blocked until IntelliType version 1.2 or earlier is uninstalled.

If you are upgrading a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 98 Second Edition configuration that is running IntelliType version 1.20 software or earlier, it is recommended that you uninstall the IntelliType software before attempting to upgrade.

MICROSOFT INTELLIPOINT 1.00

=
==============

Windows Me has built-in support for the Microsoft mouse.

You cannot install IntelliPoint version 1.00 on computers running Windows Me. If you upgrade to Windows ME over a previously installed Windows 95 configuration, IntelliPoint will have limited functionality. For an updated version of IntelliPoint software, contact Microsoft.

MICROSOFT BALLPOINT MOUSE

=
============

If you need to adjust settings, such as orientation, for your BallPoint mouse, go to Control Panel and use the Mouse Manager or IntelliPoint software that came with your mouse. If the IntelliPoint icon is not already installed on your computer, contact Microsoft for an updated version of the mouse software.
