Logitech Windows NT mouse drivers ================================= These Windows NT mouse drivers are still under development and have not been extensively tested. These drivers are provided to help Windows NT Beta testers utilize their Logitech mice under the October 1992 release of Windows NT. These NT mouse drivers are provided "as is". Logitech does not warrant that these drivers will meet users requirements, or that they will function in combination with other software or hardware which may be selected for use by users. LOGITECH MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATION ABOUT COMPATIBILITY OF THESE DRIVERS WITH ANY PC-COMPATIBLE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL LOGITECH BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFIT, LOST DATA, LOST OR DAMAGED PROGRAMS, OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THESE DRIVERS. How To Install: --------------- Logitech Windows NT mouse drivers are provided in a self-extracting .EXE file format. After you have downloaded LMOUSENT.EXE, proceed with the following steps: 1] Copy LMOUSENT.EXE to a temporary directory on the hard drive (i.e., \TEMP) 2] Log onto this temporary directory by typing: CD \TEMP.............where TEMP is the directory in which LMOUSENT.EXE exists 3] Uncompress LMOUSENT.EXE by typing: LMOUSENT.............then press Enter 4] Start Windows NT 5] Select the RUN command from the FILE menu and type in: C:\TEMP\INSTALL......then press Enter 6] Once the installation is completed, select Shutdown from the File menu in order to restart NT and cause the new changes to take effect.

Feedback: --------- These files can be obtained from either: Logitech BBS at 510-795-0408 or Logitech forum on CompuServe (Go Logitech). Your feedback and comments are important to us.

Technical Information: ----------------------- This LMOUSENT.EXE contains two drivers: 1) BUSMOUSE.SYS which supports all of Logitech BUS mice. The bus board address and interrupt jumper should be properly set. The Hardware Interrupts (IRQs) supported are 2,3,4 & 5 and the I/O address is 0x023C 2) SERMOUSE.SYS which supports all of Logitech Serial mice. All Serial mice previously supported (before installing these drivers) by the old SERMOUSE.SYS driver are also supported.

These drivers will NOT work under future Windows NT releases due to changes in the pointing device data report format. At the time of future releases of Windows NT, Logitech will have new mouse drivers. Advanced features like orientation for the Logitech TrackMan line of Pointing Devices is not currently supported. Troubleshooting: ---------------- - If the mouse doesn't respond, make sure it works correctly under DOS. - These drivers are needed if you previously experienced a "jumping" cursor on the screen under NT. - If you are using a Serial mouse under DOS, you may have to turn off your computer before restarting Windows NT or unplug the mouse to power it down, otherwise the mouse may not be recognized under NT. An alternative solution might be to reload the Logitech DOS mouse driver with the parameter "1200" to reset the mouse to 1200 baud. This can be done by loading the mouse driver under DOS by typing the following command: MOUSE 1200 * This is currently due to a limitation of NtDetect (part of Windows NT). - The installation program makes a few assumptions about the current values in the registry. The changes to the registry are (use regedit if you need to get back to the default): Path: Registry\machine\system\currentcontrolset\service Original Tag New Tag Null.sys 0x01 0x01 Beep.sys 0x02 0x02 DzPort.sys 0x03 0x03 I8042Prt.sys 0x04 0x04 Inport.sys 0x05 0x05 BusMouse.sys ---- 0x06 SerMouse.sys 0x06 0x07 MouClass.sys 0x07 0x08 Mouse.sys 0x08 0x09 KbdClass.sys 0x09 0x0A Keyborad.sys 0x0A 0x0B SqikbMou.sys 0x0B 0x0C The new driver entries will contain by default the following fields (look at the INSTALL.INI file for more information): BusMouse Type = 0x01 Start = 0x01 Group = Base ErrorControl = 0x01 Tag = 0x06 BusMouse\Parameters MouseDataQueueSize = 0x64 NumberOfButtons = 0x03 SampleRate = 0x28 PointerDeviceBaseName = PointerPort Trademarks: ----------- Logitech is a trademark of Logitech Inc., Microsoft is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corp.
