I have two OB 800CT's, and both have trouble with Logitech mice, especially cordless. Is there a trick to installing Mouseware, or a particular version to use? Both OB's are running Win95.

One has a serious problem: if I install Mouseware (8.60 or various 9.x versions) then the Logitech Cordless Mouseman Wheel works great but the keyboard stops working.

If I uninstall Mouseware, the keyboard works but Windows sees the mouse as a Standard Serial Mouse, and won't react to the wheel or middle button.

Mouseware 7.0 doesn't kill the keyboard but doesn't support the cordless mouse either.

The other OB, which has a docking station, works ok with a Cordless Mouseman Optical plugged into the PS/2 port on the dock, but when I undock, the OB hangs and I have to reset. I have to shut down before docking/undocking to avoid this.

Do OB 800CT's have problems with Logitechs, or am I just unlucky?

Any suggestions are welcome!
