Hi David,

since you said you bought a few iMacs, try the mouse first without any
drivers on a virgin iMac, if that works, then reinstall those which you
had exposed to the drivers for that mouse.
All procedures you describe seem to me pretty standard out of the box
and work on my mighty mouse (at home), a M$ mouse and a Dell mouse (at
work) - I don't leave my mighty mouse at work, otherwise it might find
another owner. Could anybody tell me why a three button mouse on M$ XP
does not work with the scroll wheel e.g. in the Explorer thingy ?
In general before ever installing any drivers, plug the device in first
and see if it is recognized, if not then you can still go ahead and
install drivers. The only thing that was not recognized immediately in
my case was a Nikon Firewire Slide Scanner, I was kind of dissapointed
by that, as I had to get the CD out of the envelope and actually install
something.
