Hi,

I just recently installed OS X 10.4.8 on my G5. Everything is great except the Micro Intellimouse isn't recognized. What do I need to do? It worked fine before this system update.


Thanks.

Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?

Download and install the Microsoft driver software. Mine worked fine with 10.4.8 and it was a v.1 probably about 5 years old.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Hi,

I unplugged the Bluetooth but the Intellimouse still did not work.

Microsoft asks for the operating system and of course the 10.4.8 is not listed. ???

My son usually comes over and does this but he's off snowboarding! Thanks for your help.
