  • Do not install any version of MouseWare 8.x (or earlier) into Windows 2000. It may crash your Windows 2000, forcing you to reinstall Windows 2000.
  • Furthermore, if you are using Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, or Windows NT 4.0 and you plan to upgrade to Windows 2000 by installing over your current operating system, you must run the MouseWare uninstaller before upgrading to Windows 2000. The reason for this is MouseWare 8.x (and earlier), is not supported under Windows 2000, and the uninstall for MouseWare may not run in Windows 2000.)
