mouse device types.

>>>To obtain additional or updated drivers from the Windows 
   Driver Library (WDL):

1. If you do not have access to a modem, call Microsoft Technical 
   Support and request a floppy disk that contains the drivers you 
   want. Then go to step 3.
    
   If you have a modem, download the drivers from one of the 
   following online services to a floppy disk.

any, apply.


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

The Windows 98 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 98 driver.

If your version of MouseWare is earlier than 7.2, use 
the Windows 98 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 Device Manager.

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

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

5. Click Driver, 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 98 Second Edition may not 
install the Logitech driver. If so, use the Device Manager 
tab in the Systems Properties dialog box to change the 
PS/2 mouse setting to Logitech Serial Mouse.   


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

Windows 98 Second Edition 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. Driver updates are available from 
the Windows Driver Library (WDL) or in the \Drivers\Mouse 
folder on the Windows 98 Second Edition CD.


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

Windows 98 Second Edition has built-in support for the 
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 98 Second Edition. If you upgrade to Windows 98 
Second Edition over a previously installed Windows 3.1 or 
Windows 95 configuration, IntelliType will have limited 
functionality.

If you are upgrading a Windows 3.x or Windows 95 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 98 files:

	taskman.exe=TASKSW16.EXE

This deletion deactivates the Windows 3.1 IntelliType Task Manager 
and ensure full support of the Windows logo keys under Windows 98
Second Edition.  


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

Windows 98 Second Edition has built-in support for the Microsoft 
mouse.

You cannot install IntelliPoint version 1.00 under Windows 98
Second Edition. If you upgrade to Windows 98 Second Edition
over a previously installed Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 
configuration, IntelliPoint will have limited functionality. 
Contact Microsoft for an updated version of IntelliPoint 
software.


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

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