3.   Troubleshooting
  
3.1  Detection Issues with USB Mice
  
  Please note that USB mice are only supported under Windows 
  98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
  
  If your USB mouse is not detected properly or does not 
  function, please use the following steps to troubleshoot the 
  problem.
  Note: if you have a PS/2 mouse, you can install and use it to
  follow the procedure.  Otherwise, use the keyboard to 
  navigate.
  
  - Click the Start button or press Ctrl-Esc to bring up the
  Start menu, select "Settings", then "Control Panel".
  - Select the System icon and press Enter to open the System
  Properties.
  - From the System Properties, select the Device Manager tab.
  On Windows 2000 and Windows XP, select the Hardware tab, 
  then press the Device Manager button.
  - Under the Mouse section, there should be a mouse icon that
  states: "HID-compliant mouse". On Windows 98 or ME, you 
  should also see another entry that states the name of your USB 
  device.
  If there is a yellow exclamation or red X mark on either of
  these entries, highlight it and press the Delete key to 
  remove it.
  - Once the problem entries have been removed, press the
  "Refresh" button and allow Windows to re-detect the mouse. 
  On Windows 2000 and Windows XP, select "Scan for Hardware 
  Changes" from the Action menu.
  - Look at the entries under the Mouse section again, verify
  that there are no errors reported.
  - Power down the computer and restart Windows. Test the USB
  device to see if it is now functional.
  
  Other troubleshooting tips:
  -  If you have problem getting the mouse to work on a hub, 
  try connecting the mouse directly to the USB port on the 
  system.
  -  Try a second USB mouse in the same port or try the USB 
  mouse on a second system to verify it is working correctly.  If
  needed contact the vendor of your system to verify the USB
  ports are correctly enabled, or if updated drivers are
  available.
  -  Uninstall MouseWare and see if the USB mouse works with 
  the native Microsoft drivers provided on your Windows CD-ROM.
  -  If your USB mouse functions but does not appear in the
  Logitech Mouse Control Center, reinstall MouseWare again 
  while the Logitech USB mouse is attached.
  
3.2  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 as designed to work on only one type of port (Serial 
  ORPS/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 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.
  
3.3  Detection of C-Series Pointing devices under Windows 9x
  
  If you are using a C-Series device on a serial port and it is 
  not detected by Windows 9x (Windows 95, Windows 98, or 
  Windows Me), you may need to change an entry in the Windows 
  Registry. C-Series devices can identified by the following 
  model numbers (M/N:), located on the bottom of the device: T-
  CA1, C7, CA, CC, and CE.
  
  1)  Click on the "Start" button on the Windows Desktop and 
      select "Run".
  2)  On the "Open" line, type "regedit" and click on the "OK" 
      button.
  3)  From the Registry Editor screen, double click on:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
  4)  Double click on SOFTWARE.
  5)  Double click on Logitech.
  6)  Double click on MouseWare.
  7)  Double click on CurrentVersion.
  8)  Single click on Technical and information should be 
      displayed on the right side of the Registry Editor 
      screen.
  9)  Under the Name column, double click on the 
      "SearchCSeries" entry and the Edit String Dialogue box 
      should appear.
  10) Modify the Value Data line to read "On", and click the 
      "OK" button
  
  Exit the Registry editor and restart Windows.  The C-Series
  device should now be detected.
  
3.4  Detection of BUS Pointing Devices under Windows 9x
  
  If you are using a BUS device and it is not detected by 
  Windows 9x (Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me) you may 
  need to change an entry in the Windows Registry. BUS devices 
  can identified by the following model numbers (M/N:), located 
  on the bottom of the device: T-PA1, PK32, PD13, P7, Hi-Rez, 
  P8, and PA.
  
    1)  Click on the "Start" button on the Windows 9x Desktop and
        select "Run".
    2)  On the "Open" line, type "regedit" and click on the "OK"
        button.
    3)  From the Registry Editor screen, double click on:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
    4)  Double click on SOFTWARE.
    5)  Double click on Logitech.
    6)  Double click on MouseWare.
    7)  Double click on CurrentVersion.
    8)  Single click on Global and information should be displayed
        on the right side of the Registry Editor screen.
    9)  Under the Name column, double click on the "SearchOrder" 
        entry and the Edit String Dialogue box should appear.
    10) Modify the Value Data line and add "Bus", and click the 
        "OK" button. It should now read as follows:
        PS2, Serial, Bus
  
    Exit the Registry editor and restart Windows. The Bus device
    should now be detected.
  
3.5  Detection of Serial Mice under Windows 2000
  
  If your Logitech Serial mouse functions, but does not appear 
  in the MouseWare enhanced Mouse Properties, reinstall 
  MouseWare again while the Logitech Serial mouse is attached.
  
  Please note that C-Series mice connected to the serial port 
  are not supported under Windows 2000. C-Series devices can 
  identified by the following model numbers (M/N:) located on 
  the bottom of the device: T-CA1, C7, CA, CC, and CE.
  
3.6  Detection of Serial Mice under Windows XP
  
  MouseWare under Windows XP does not support pointing devices 
  connected to the serial port. This means that your serial 
  pointing device will only be supported by the native OS 
  driver. Serial devices will not show up in the MouseWare 
  enhanced Mouse Properties and you will not be able to program 
  the buttons or use any of the other features. If your 
  pointing device supports PS/2 mode, use the adapter provided 
  and connect it to the systems PS/2 mouse port if it has one. 
  If your system does not have a PS/2 mouse port, another 
  option would be to obtain a USB add-on card and contact 
  Logitech Sales for a possible upgrade to one of our current 
  USB/PS/2 devices.
  
3.7  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, run "Regedit.exe", edit the key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\MouseWare\CurrentVer
  sion\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\lser
  mous\Parameters\Global\PortSearchOrder and remove the COM 
  port that the affected serial device is using.
  
3.8  Power Management Problems Under Windows 9x
  
  If your mouse freezes when waking your PC up from suspend, in 
  Windows 9x (Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me) run 
  "Regedit.exe", then open the registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\MouseWare\CurrentVersion
  \Technical\APMMode and set APMMode="Off"
  
3.9  Logitech Enhanced Mouse Control Panel is not 
  Updated Under
  Windows 9x
  
  Under Windows 9x (Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me), if 
  the Mouse Properties have 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 "regedit", and click on the OK button.
  
  Open the following Registry folders:
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Mo
  use\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.
  
3.10 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 Microsoft Office compatible 
  applications, go to the Buttons page in the mouse control 
  panel and verify that the check box "Use MS Office 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
  \TouchScroll
  
  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.
  
3.11 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.
  
  If you have Windows 95 or OSR2, you also need to have DCOM95 
  installed.This file is available free of charge from 
  Microsoft website at 
  http://www.microsoft.com/com/resources/downloads.asp.
  
  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 Replace 
  batteries.
  
3.12 "Error Starting Program" Message Under Windows 95
  
  The following error messages may appear near the end of the 
  MouseWare installation on a Windows 95 system, "The 
  WEBCOLCT.EXE file is linked to missing export 
  OLEAUT32.DLL:227" or "The CDLSHAND.EXE file is linked to 
  missing export OLEAUT32.DLL:420". If you experience these 
  error messages, we suggest that you install the latest 
  version of the DCOM95 for Windows 95. This file is available 
  free of charge from Microsoft website at 
  http://www.microsoft.com/com/resources/downloads.asp. After 
  installing the DCOM95 file, you must run the MouseWare 
  installation again.
  
3.13 Restricted functionality of WebWheel with the AOL 4.0 
     or 5.0 browser
  
  When programming the WebWheel within the AOL browser, using 
  the CTRL-CLICK function on one of the user-assignable items 
  of the WebWheel may not automatically retrieve the desired 
  URL. To work around this issue, you will need to manually 
  type in the desired URL and its designated name in the edit 
  boxes provided (e.g. Logitech, http://www.logitech.com). By 
  default, both edit boxes will contain the current assignment.
