Windows Driver Library (WDL)
============================
Windows 95 includes drivers for most mouse types. To obtain additional
or updated drivers from the Windows Driver Library (WDL), carry out the
following procedure.
1. If do not have access to a modem, obtain a floppy disk that
contains the driver by calling Microsoft Product Support Services.
Then proceed to step 4.
2. If you have a modem, download the driver to a floppy disk from one
of the following online services.
Service Location of drivers
------- -------------------
The Microsoft Network Windows 95 area
Worldwide Web http://www.microsoft.com
Gopher gopher://gopher.microsoft.com
FTP ftp://ftp.microsoft.com
CompuServe GO MSL
Microsoft Download Service (MSDL) In the United States, call
(206) 936-6735. Outside
the U.S., contact your local
Microsoft subsidiary.
3. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, double-click the icon for
the floppy disk drive that contains the file you downloaded,
and then double-click the file itself. This extracts the driver.
4. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control
Panel.
5. Double-click the Mouse icon, click the General tab, and then click
Change.
6. Click Browse, and then locate the file you extracted in step 3.
7. Click OK in the Open dialog box and in the Install From Disk
dialog box.
NOTE: The drivers are available at no charge; however, standard
connect-time fees and long-distance telephone charges, if
any, apply.
Logitech Mouse
==============
The Windows 95 Logitech driver supports Logitech MouseWare features.
To use the middle button of a three-button Logitech Mouse, use the
Logitech Mouse Control Center that came with your mouse.
If you are running Windows 95, do not run the Logitech MouseWare
Setup program that was written for Windows 3.1. If you do, open Mouse
properties, click the General tab, and then click Change. Then select
the appropriate Windows 95 Logitech mouse type.
If you use a Logitech serial mouse, but there is a PS/2 mouse port
on your computer, Windows 95 may not correctly install the Logitech
driver. If this occurs, use the Device Manager tab in System properties
to change the PS/2 mouse item, if present, to "Logitech Serial Mouse."
Mouse Systems/Genius
====================
Windows 95 does not have built-in drivers for the Mouse Systems or
Genius 3-button mouse. The standard mouse driver will work with these
devices in their 2-button mode. Driver updates are available from
the Windows Driver Library or in the \Drivers\Mouse folder on the
Windows 95 CD-ROM.
Microsoft Natural Keyboards
===========================
Windows 95 has built-in support for your Microsoft Natural Keyboard.
Windows logo keys have added functionality under the new operating
system.
You will be unable to install IntelliType version 1.00 under Windows 95.
If you upgrade to Windows 95 over a previously installed Windows 3.1
configuration, IntelliType will have limited functionality.
If you are upgrading a Windows 3.1x configuration that has IntelliType
version 1.00 software, it is recommended that you delete the following
line from your System.ini file, which is located in the folder that
contains your Windows 95 files:
taskman.exe=TASKSW16.EXE
This will deactivate the Windows 3.1 IntelliType Task Manager and
ensure full support of the Windows logo keys under Windows 95.
Microsoft IntelliPoint 1.00
============================
Windows 95 has built-in support for your Microsoft mouse.
You will be unable to install IntelliPoint version 1.00 under
Windows 95. If you upgrade to Windows 95 over a previously
installed Windows 3.1 configuration, IntelliPoint will have
limited functionality. Contact Microsoft for an updated version
of IntelliPoint software.
Microsoft BallPoint Mouse
==========================
If you need to adjust settings for your BallPoint mouse such as
orientation, use the Mouse Manager or IntelliPoint control panel
icon that came with your mouse. If this control panel is not already
installed on your computer, contact Microsoft for an updated version
of the mouse software.
