1. DESCRIPTION
M72_W95.EXE contains the 7.20 version of the Logitech mouse driver
for Windows 95. The driver works with any Logitech pointing device(s)
operating under Windows 95, including previous versions of the
Logitech Enhanced MouseWare Control Center software for Windows 95.
Installation of this driver into Windows 95 will automatically set
the middle button of a Logitech 3 button mouse to function as a left
mouse button double click.
Additionally, we have included a DOS mouse driver for users who are
running DOS programs outside of Windows 95.
NOTE: This update was designed for Windows 95. Please do not install
it into environments other than those specified.
**********************************************************************
2. INSTALLATION
For purposes of these examples, we will assume the floppy drive is
the "A:" drive. If this is your "B:" drive, please substitue "B:" for
"A:" throughout the instructions below.
These examples also assume that Windows has been installed into the
directory C:\WINDOWS. If Windows has been installed into a directory
other than C:\WINDOWS, please substitute that directory for
C:\WINDOWS in all of the instructions below. For example, if the
step is to "Type CD\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and press [ENTER]", but Windows
is installed in the C:\WIN95 directory, please type "CD\WIN95\SYSTEM"
instead.
If you are not certain of the directory Windows is installed in, you
can find out by clicking on "Start", "Find", "Files or Folders". Type
in "WIN.COM" and press [ENTER]. When the listing of files found comes
up, look at the column titled "In Folder". This will show you where
Windows is installed. However, if multiple files are listed, you will
need to determine which folder is the directory Windows is installed.
2.1 Decompressing the files from M72_W95.EXE *************************

3. ADDITIONAL NOTES
Under Windows, some programs require the middle button to generate a
standard middle button event, instead of a Double Click (i.e. like in
a CAD application). If you are not running a Logitech Enhanced Mouse
Control Center to control the Button Assignments of pointing device,
you may need to disable the default Double Click setting of the
driver and regain a standard middle mouse button click. To do this,
you will need to make the following modification in the Windows 95
Registry:
NOTE: For information about how to edit the registry, view the
"Changing Keys And Values" on-line Help topic in Registry Editor
(REGEDIT.EXE). Make a backup copy of the registry files (SYSTEM.DAT
and USER.DAT) before you edit the registry.
!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!!
Using the Registry Editor incorrectly may cause symptoms requiring a
reinstallation of Windows 95. Logitech cannot guarantee that issues
resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved.
Use the Registry Editor at your own discretion. The Registry Editor
should only be used to make the following modifications. Please
follow the instructions below:
- Click on the "Start" button on the Windows 95 Desktop and select
"Run".
- On the Open line, type "C:\WINDOWS\REGEDIT.EXE" and click OK.
- From the Registry Editor screen, double click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
- Double click on SOFTWARE.
- Double click on LOGITECH.
- Double click on MOUSEWARE.
- Double click on CURRENTVERSION.
- Find your device model from the list under CurrentVersion and
double click on that folder.
- Click on the 0000 folder and information should be displayed on the
right side of the Registry Editor screen.
- Under the Name column, double click on the "DoubleClick" entry and
the Edit String Dialogue box should appear.
- Modify the Value Data line to read "000" and click the OK button.
