-
- 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.
- - You may also want to contact the vendor of your USB chipset
- for updated USB drivers.
-
- 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. You may also need to set the
- configuration for the internal pointing device to
- "Auto-Disable" or "Auto-Select" setting. 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
- was designed to work on only one type of port (Serial OR
- PS/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 USB port instead.
-

- If you are using a C-Series device on a serial port and it is
- not detected by Windows 9x (Windows 95, or Windows 98), you may

- supported under Windows ME, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.

-
- 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

- 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.
-

- 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.
-
- 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\lsermous
- \Parameters\Global\PortSearchOrder and remove the COM port
- that the affected serial device is using.
-

- 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.

- 3.10 Scrolling/wheel related issues
