Hi everyone, There was some articles on Logitec mouse drivers (newer versions than 3.42). Also included was a number to call at Logitec to get these new drivers. Well, after two days of trying to get to their bulletin board, I have to decided to come to ya'll to ask someone to possiblly uuencode the drivers and send them to me. The problem I am having is the mouse (Logitec HiRez) is corrupting the screen in Microsoft Word 5.0. Microsoft says it is the mouse driver and, again, I haven't been able to get ahold of Logitec. Anyone else have this problem? Thank you -Joe duvalj@prism.cs.orst.edu PH: (503) 757-1297

Yes. I have the same problem. I also can't seem to get through to Logitech
BBS either. I called them on the phone, and they said I have to mail my
old disk to them before they can send me a new one. (What do they think
I'm going to do? Use it with someone else's mouse? They've already got
the ultimate copy protection dongle for their damn driver -- the mouse!)
If someone can post it, or mail me the current driver, I sure would
appreciate it.

It isn't always predictable, and I've just viewed it as an annoyance. If you are a heavy mouse user, then it gets awful quite rapidly. Fortunately, you can do almost everything faster in Word using function keys and the cursor keys than you can with the mouse. Let me know if anyone has a cure!

As I posted earlier, I use the Logitech Hi-Rez bus mousewith the
supplied Microsoft Mouse drivers in the Microsoft Products, and I have no
problem. I think that you should try using the mouse driver that came
with Word. I use it for Quick C and it works for 25,43, & 50 line modes.
I have not tried Word, but I think it would work.
If you try it, let us know, I am curious.

I've always gotten excellent support from Logitech, even above and beyond the call of duty, such as when I was rewiring the thing to connect it to the mouse interface on my EGA card.

I swear Microsoft is the looser as far as software goes. Given that, I wouldn't be surprised if it is Microsoft's fault that Logitech mice are not working properly.

My LogiTech Mouse was working fine, but didn't support Turbo C. I called them and asked them if they had any new menus. They said they had one that would help, plus new drivers and such and would send them to me. A couple of days later, I got everything. I didn't have to send them old disks or anything, and they were very helpful.
