WINDOWS DRIVER LIBRARY (WDL)

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

Windows 98 Second Edition includes drivers for most

mouse device types.

>>>To obtain additional or updated drivers from the Windows

Driver Library (WDL):

1. If you do not have access to a modem, call Microsoft Technical

Support and request a floppy disk that contains the drivers you
 want. Then go to step 3.

If you have a modem, download the drivers from one of the

following online services to a floppy disk.

Service Location of drivers

------- -------------------
The Microsoft Network Windows 98 area
Worldwide Web http://www.microsoft.com
Gopher gopher://gopher.microsoft.com
FTP ftp://ftp.microsoft.com
Microsoft Download Service (MSDL) In the United States and Canada,
call (425) 936-6735. Outside
the U.S., contact your local
Microsoft subsidiary.

2. In My Computer, 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.

3. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control

Panel.

4. Double-click Mouse, click General, and then click Change.

5. Click Browse, and then locate the file you extracted in step 2.

6. In the Open dialog box, click OK, and then click OK again.

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 98 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 98 driver.

If your version of MouseWare is earlier than 7.2, use

the Windows 98 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 Device Manager.

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

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

for.

5. Click Driver, 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 98 Second Edition may not
install the Logitech driver. If so, use the Device Manager
tab in the Systems Properties dialog box to change the
PS/2 mouse setting to Logitech Serial Mouse.

MOUSE SYSTEMS OR GENIUS

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

Windows 98 Second Edition 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. Driver updates are available from
the Windows Driver Library (WDL) or in the \Drivers\Mouse
folder on the Windows 98 Second Edition CD.

MICROSOFT NATURAL KEYBOARDS

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

Windows 98 Second Edition has built-in support for the

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 98 Second Edition. If you upgrade to Windows 98
Second Edition over a previously installed Windows 3.1 or
Windows 95 configuration, IntelliType will have limited
functionality.

If you are upgrading a Windows 3.x or Windows 95 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 98 files:

taskman.exe=TASKSW16.EXE

This deletion deactivates the Windows 3.1 IntelliType Task Manager

and ensure full support of the Windows logo keys under Windows 98
Second Edition.

MICROSOFT INTELLIPOINT 1.00

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

Windows 98 Second Edition has built-in support for the Microsoft

mouse.

You cannot install IntelliPoint version 1.00 under Windows 98

Second Edition. If you upgrade to Windows 98 Second Edition
over a previously installed Windows 3.1 or Windows 95
configuration, IntelliPoint will have limited functionality.
Contact Microsoft for an updated version of IntelliPoint
software.

MICROSOFT BALLPOINT MOUSE

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

If you need to adjust settings, such as orientation, for your

BallPoint mouse, use the Mouse Manager or IntelliPoint in Control
Panel 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.
