1. Introduction (continued)  
1.2 Connecting Your Mouse  
Your mouse connects to either a PS/2 (or 6 pin MiniDIN) mouse  
port or a 9 pin serial port. To verify your connectors, locate the  
port on the back of your computer that is designated for your  
mouse. Most PCs will have the word MOUSE marked next to  
the PS/2 connector. Older PCs will have either Serial 1 (and up)  
or COM 1 (and up) for the serial connector. If you are still  
unsure, please refer to your hardware manual.  
6 pin MiniDIN  
9 pin Serial  
For PS/2 mouse port installation, simply remove the serial  
adapter before connecting the mouse cable to the computer.  
WARNING:  
To avoid damage, turn your computer off  
before plugging or unplugging any  
pointing devices.  
a. Locate the computer PS/2 mouse port or Serial port  
on the back of your computer.  
b. Plug your mouse into the appropriate port suggested  
above. Check the box in which your mouse was shipped to  
verify the ports supported.  
c. If applicable, tighten down the connector thumbscrews.  
d. Turn your computer on. At this point, your mouse will work  
with the built-in Microsoft® Operating System. To use the  
extra features of your middle button, you must install the  
included software.

3. Troubleshooting  
Q: I can get into Windows® or into Safe Mode but I cannot  
use the mouse.  
A: If you have more than one driver, this could be causing your  
computer to boot in safe mode or not allow your mouse to  
work at all. If you are using a PS/2 mouse then the driver  
must state that it is using a PS/2 driver. If you are using a  
Serial mouse then the driver must state that it is using a  
Serial driver on COM1 or COM2. If you have a Serial Mouse  
and you are not sure whether you are using COM1 or COM2  
then try moving the mouse to another serial port on the  
back of your computer, (most computers have two; if you  
have only one then it will more than likely be COM1). If you  
have more than one driver then you must remove the  
excess drivers.  
Q: If I have more than one mouse driver how do I remove  
the driver without the mouse control? How do I boot  
into normal Windows® mode?  
A: Use your "Windows®" Key at the bottom left hand corner of  
your keyboard if you have one, if not press "Alt + S" to go  
to the "Start" button in Windows® 98. Then use your "Up  
Arrow" to select "Settings", then use your "Right Arrow" to  
select "Control Panel" and then press "Enter".  
These steps have taken you to the "Control Panel" where  
you can gain access to your "Device Manager". The "Device  
Manager" shows your driver status and information and it  
will allow you to modify their settings.  
After entering the "Control Panel" use your "Up" and  
"Down" Arrows to select, "System" and then press "Enter".  
After entering "System Properties" use your "Right Arrow"  
to select "Device Manager". Then press "Tab" until you have

selected "Computer" and then use the "Down Arrow" until  
your "Mouse" is highlighted. Then use your "Right Arrow"  
to expand and select your mouse driver or drivers. After you  
have chosen your mouse driver you can now modify it by  
removing the driver or changing the driver.  
To remove the driver you have selected, use your "Tab" key  
until the "Remove" tab is selected. Then press "Enter". This  
will remove the driver. Use your "Arrow" Key to select any  
other drivers and repeat the process until all but one driver  
remains. Even if it is the wrong driver you can use it and  
change it to the mouse driver you want.  
After removing or changing the mouse driver, use your  
"Tab" key until "Close" is selected and then press "Enter".  
Then you will have to reboot your computer. Use your  
"Windows®" Key at the bottom left hand corner of your  
keyboard if you have one, if not press "Alt + S". Then use  
the "Up Arrow" to select "Shut Down" and press "Enter".  
Use your "Arrow" Key to select "Restart" and press "Enter".  
Q: After installing the mouse driver and rebooting, my  
mouse will not work. How do I change the mouse driver  
without mouse control?  
A: Use your "Windows®" Key at the bottom left hand corner of  
your keyboard if you have one; if not press "Alt + S" to go  
to the "Start" button in Windows® 98. Then use your "Up"  
Arrow to select "Settings" then use your "Right" Arrow to  
select "Control Panel" and then press "Enter".  
These steps have taken you to the "Control Panel" where  
you can gain access to your "Device Manager". The "Device  
Manager" shows your driver status and information and it  
will allow you to modify their settings.

After entering the "Control Panel" use the "Up" and  
"Down" Arrows to select "System" and then press "Enter".  
After entering "System Properties" use the "Right" Arrow  
to select "Device Manager". Then press "Tab" to bring  
your selection to "Computer" and then use the "Down"  
Arrow until your "Mouse" is highlighted. Then use your  
"Right" Arrow to expand and select your mouse driver or  
drivers. After you select the mouse driver, use your "Tab"  
key to select "Properties" and then press "Enter". Use your  
"Right Arrow" key to choose the "Driver" tab and then use  
your "Tab" key to choose "Update driver" and then press  
"Enter".  
The next options will vary from computer to computer  
because there are many types of Windows® 95 and  
Windows® 2000 versions. The wording or options will be a  
little different but should be somewhat the same.  
Windows® will then continue to ask questions and help guide  
you through the changes. Use your "Arrow" Keys, "Enter",  
and "Tab" keys to continue through the process. Windows®  
may or may not start searching for Plug-and-Play devices  
right away, and it may or may not find anything new. If it  
does not find anything new it will ask you another line of  
questions, and if it does find something new choose  
something similar to "This Device is not in the list".  
Windows® will then ask if you want Windows® to search for a  
new device or will ask if you want to select a driver from a  
list. You will want to choose a device or driver from a list. Use  
your "Arrow", "Tab" and "Enter" keys to navigate and finish  
till the end of questioning. After finishing, Windows® may or  
may not ask you to reboot your computer. Yes, you will want

Q: Why does my external mouse not work with my  
laptop computer?  
A: You may have to disable the onboard mouse in order to use  
an external mouse. Try looking in your CMOS or BIOS in  
order to disable the onboard mouse. If you do not have this  
option or do not know how to get into your BIOS or CMOS,  
please follow instructions in your computer manual or call  
the computer dealer/technical support for your computer.

4. How to Use Your ErgoMouse™  
4.1 Changing Mouse Settings  
You will find the CursorWareprogram in your taskbar  
on the bottom of your screen. Click on it to open  
the window.  
To the right of the picture ErgoMouseyou will find a section  
labeled "Middle Button Assignment". You have the option of  
programming your middle button to perform your most  
common Windows® 98 tasks. You can choose from one of the  
following: "Backspace", "Close Application", "Delete", "Enter",  
"Escape", "F1" through "F12", "Find File", "Maximize",  
"Minimize", "Page Down", "Page Up", "Run", "Start Menu"  
and "Double Click".  
This can be activated by clicking on the circle by the words  
“Win98 Function” then clicking on the box with the word  
“Backspace”. Find the one you wish to use and click on it.  
You can also select the zoom option. You can choose to zoom in  
and observe something in large, medium or small. To select this,  
simply click in the circle next to the words "Zoom In" then click  
on the box with the word "Large". Select the one you want.

4. How to Use Your ErgoMouse(continued)  
Below this, you will find the section that allows you to change  
the color of the pointer. You can choose between solid white,  
solid black or clear.  
To the left, you will find the section marked "Mouse Speed".  
Mouse Speed determines how quickly your pointer moves  
about the screen. The faster the setting, the higher the  
response. The slower the setting, the lower the response.  
Below this is the "Mouse Trails" section. Click on the enable  
box to choose how long of a tail you would like your arrow  
to have.  
And finally, in the bottom right corner is the "Set Double Click  
Time" section. The double click speed allows you to modify  
the speed at which your mouse responds. The slower the  
setting, the slower you can double click for your mouse to  
respond. To see which speed is best for you, try double  
clicking within the "Test" box. If you double click and it does  
not change color, you might want to change the speed to a  
lower setting.  
To activate the settings that you chose, select "Apply".  
To keep your setting(s), select "OK".  
To keep your settings as they were before you opened the  
settings window, select "Cancel".

4.2 Care for Your Mouse  
Maintenance of your ErgoMouseis important. It is designed  
to provide years of trouble-free service. A self-cleaning ball  
cage helps prevent dust and lint from building up around the  
ball. However, if the pointer should skip or move abnormally  
on screen, we recommend you clean your mouse manually.  
a. First, turn the retainer ring counterclockwise to remove  
the ball.  
b. Wipe the ball with a clean lint-free cloth.  
c. Blow into the ball cage to dislodge any dust and lint.  
d. If there is build-up on the rubber rollers inside the ball  
cage, clean using a cotton swab lightly coated with  
isopropyl alcohol to remove any debris.
