pertains to PS/2 and serial input devices only.


LOGITECH MOUSE
==============

The Windows Me 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 Me driver.

If your version of MouseWare is earlier than version 7.2, use 
the Windows Me 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 the Device Manager tab.

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

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

5. Click the Driver tab, 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 Me may not install the Logitech 
driver. If this is the case, use the settings on the Device 
Manager tab in the System Properties dialog box to change the 
PS/2 mouse setting to Logitech Serial Mouse.   


MOUSE SYSTEMS OR GENIUS
=======================

Windows Me 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. 


MICROSOFT NATURAL KEYBOARDS
===========================

Windows Me has built-in support for the Microsoft Natural 
Keyboard. The Windows logo keys have added functionality 
under the new operating system.

You will be unable to install IntelliType version 1.2 or 
earlier on a computer running Windows Me. If you upgrade 
to Windows Me over a previously installed Windows 95, 
Windows 98, or Windows 98 Second Edition configuration, 
Windows Setup will be blocked until IntelliType version 
1.2 or earlier is uninstalled.

If you are upgrading a Windows 95, Windows 98, or 
Windows 98 Second Edition configuration that is running 
IntelliType version 1.20 software or earlier, it is 
recommended that you uninstall the IntelliType software 
before attempting to upgrade.


MICROSOFT INTELLIPOINT 1.00
===========================

Windows Me has built-in support for the Microsoft mouse.

You cannot install IntelliPoint version 1.00 on computers 
running Windows Me. If you upgrade to Windows ME over a 
previously installed Windows 95 configuration, 
IntelliPoint will have limited functionality. For an updated 
version of IntelliPoint software, contact Microsoft.


MICROSOFT BALLPOINT MOUSE
=========================

If you need to adjust settings, such as orientation, for your 
BallPoint mouse, go to Control Panel and use the Mouse Manager 
or IntelliPoint software 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.
