| "Deactivated?" Can you elaborate a tad? Does the mouse not work at all? What kind of mouse is it? Is it connected properly to the computer?

| THe only type of mouse you should be using on an iMac is a USB mouse, and that should work the second you plug it in any one of the USB ports. Have you tried another USB mouse? It's possible that the mouse you currently have is dead.

| There is a control panel for the mouse in Control Panels>Keyboard & mouse. Double check the speed of the mouse setting. Also - check Universal Access>mouse. Mouse keys might be turned on. If so, turn them off and turn off Enable Access for assistive devices. Now give the mouse a try.

| my guess: wussmik is long gone again. I'd be interested in what he meant with "The mouse has been deactivated in favour of the keyboard..."...
