I'm running 10.3 and everything was fine. No abnormal usage, and suddenly the mouse doesn't work anymore. I'm using usb overdrive. I have since upgraded to 10.3.1 and nothing has changed.

When I press the connect button on the receiver it blinks and appears to not recognize the mouse. USB overdrive recognizes the basestation.

Any ideas?

When you have pressed the connect button on the receiver, press the button on the bottom of the mouse as well. I had to do this to get mine to talk.

You could also unplug the usb lead, wait for a few seconds then plug it back in.

Thank you so much! Worked like a charm. I didn't even think about a button under the mouse too...
