O.P. Mouse Problem
Hey guys, i'm currently trying to get a new mouse to work on a new laptop.

Its a Apple Powerbook G4 and i've inserted the mouse into the USB connection but the computer isn't recognising it

Does anyone know how i can solve these problems?

Help is much appreciated

RE: Mouse Problem and opening .exe problem
I don't think you can directly run PC .exe files in Mac OS, can you? :)
You should get the executables for Mac, if I've got it right, .bin files. ;)

As for the mouse problem, which mouse are you trying to plug in, and does it come with a Mac driver?

My point is that (afaik) a pc mouse doesn't work with a mac.
