USB to PS/2
Adapter

This connection requires turning your computer off so that the computer recognizes the mouse when it restarts.
Close all programs and turn off the computer. Attach the USB-to-PS/2 adapter to the USB plug at the end of the
mouse cable. If the plug does not slide easily into the adapter, turn the plug over and try again. The plug should
slide in easily; please note that it fits only one way. With the flat edge of the USB-to-PS/2 connector facing the
middle of your computer, connect the green PS/2 adapter into the round PS/2 socket on the rear of your com-
puter. (It is often a light green color). Restart your computer so that it recognizes the mouse. The mouse will
work at this point, but to activate the scroll wheel and the programmable buttons, the supplied software must
be installed. To install the software, follow SOFTWARE INSTALLATION below.

In order to avoid conflicts with previously installed mouse drivers and software, you will first need to delete the
following files by right-clicking on MY COMPUTER and then clicking on PROPERTIES.

• Win 98, Me: select the DEVICE MANAGER tab; look for the MOUSE listing under the devices. Double-

click on MOUSE, then right-click on the device that is listed. Select REMOVE to delete the driver. If there
is more than one mouse device, remove the drivers for each one in the same manner.

• Win 2000, XP: select the HARDWARE tab. Select DEVICE MANAGER and look for the MOUSE listing.

Double-click on MOUSE, then double-click on the device that is listed. Click the DRIVER tab and then
select UNINSTALL. If there is more than one mouse device, remove the drivers for each one in the same
manner.

Restart your computer by pressing the CONTROL-ALT-DELETE buttons simultaneously. Pressing them a second
time will restart the computer.

Once the previous mouse drivers and software have been deleted and after the computer has sucessfully reboot-
ed, the software can be installed:

Windows 95/98/98SE/Me/2000/XP and NT 3.51/4.0
