or updated drivers from the Windows Driver Library (WDL), carry out the 
following procedure.

   contains the driver by calling Microsoft Product Support Services.
   Then proceed to step 4.
    
2. If you have a modem, download the driver to a floppy disk from one
   of the following online services.

   the floppy disk drive that contains the file you downloaded,
   and then double-click the file itself. This extracts the driver.

4. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

5. Double-click the Mouse icon, click the General tab, and then click Change. 

6. Click Browse, and then locate the file you extracted in step 3. 

7. Click OK in the Open dialog box and in the Install From Disk dialog
   box.

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 95 Logitech driver supports Logitech MouseWare features. To use 
the middle button of a three-button Logitech Mouse, use the Logitech Mouse
Control Center that came with your mouse.
 
If you are running Windows 95, do not run the Logitech MouseWare Setup 
program that was written for Windows 3.1. If you do, open Mouse properties, 
click the General tab, and then click Change. Then select the appropriate
Windows 95 Logitech mouse type.  

If you use a Logitech serial mouse, but there is a PS/2 mouse port on your 
computer, Windows 95 may not correctly install the Logitech driver. If this 
occurs, use the Device Manager tab in System properties to change the PS/2 
mouse item, if present, to "Logitech Serial Mouse."


Mouse Systems/Genius
====================

Windows 95 does not have built-in drivers for the Mouse Systems or Genius 
3-button mouse. The standard mouse driver will work with these devices 
in their 2-button mode. Driver updates are available from the Windows 
Driver Library or in the \Drivers\Mouse folder on the Windows 95 CD-ROM.


Microsoft Natural Keyboards
===========================

Windows 95 has built-in support for your 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 95. If
you upgrade to Windows 95 over a previously installed Windows 3.1 configur-
ation, IntelliType will have limited functionality.

If you are upgrading a Windows 3.1x 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 95 files:

taskman.exe=TASKSW16.EXE

This will deactivate the Windows 3.1 IntelliType Task Manager and ensure full 
support of the Windows logo keys under Windows 95.  


Microsoft IntelliPoint 1.00
============================

Windows 95 has built-in support for your Microsoft mouse.

You will be unable to install IntelliPoint version 1.00 under Windows 95. If
you upgrade to Windows 95 over a previously installed Windows 3.1 configur-
ation, IntelliPoint will have limited functionality. Contact Microsoft for 
an updated version of IntelliPoint software.


Microsoft BallPoint Mouse
==========================

If you need to adjust settings for your BallPoint mouse such as orientation, 
use the Mouse Manager or IntelliPoint control panel icon that came with 
your mouse. If this control panel is not already installed on your computer, 
contact Microsoft for an updated version of the mouse software.
