[comp.windows.ms] LOGITECH MOUSE DRIVER

jwas@PacBell.COM (Joe Wasik) (08/30/90)

A previous poster complained that when using the mouse driver provided by
Microsoft for his/her Logitech mouse, the system locked up.

The readme file with win3.0 states that the files on the diskettes are
compressed. A compressed driver may indeed lock up the system.  Use
win's expand.exe to uncompress files from their diskettes.  Expand itself
is not compressed, but is also not auto-copied to /windows during setup.

The Logitech Bus Mouse Driver is compatible with the MS Mouse Driver.

If you are referring to my post, what I said was that the mouse
(Logitech Hi-Rez bus) worked fine under WINDOWS with the WINDOWS driver
(MS Mouse is the correct driver for this mouse), but didn't work under
Ventura ever after. The solution was to remove the WINDOWS driver from
CONFIG.SYS and reinstall the Logitech driver. Since the WINDOWS driver
was installed by WINDOWS, and worked under WINDOWS, there is no question
of it having been compressed.
