A problem for all you Mac guru's to help me with.

Our graphics dept uses Macs (cringe) as their graphical platforms. Unfortunately I know jack diddly about Macs. This morning one of the girls over there started having problems with her USB mouse. Its off track by about 1/4 of an inch in a circle. So she has to place her pointer 1/4" to the side of the icons to get anything to open. Its doing the same thing when she uses the touchpad built into it.

BTW this is a G4 Powerbook probably about 1 1/2 to 2yrs old. The USB mouse is a year old Microsoft optical mouse.

Is there any kind of option that will let you reset the track positioning of the mouse?

    hahah wow that's a weird one.

    Do you have a different mouse you can swap in there? Try swapping mice and then swapping back.

    What OS are we talking about here? 9? 10.x? which 10.x?

    which os X? there's five of them.

    It might have something to do with screen resolution. Try changing resolutions, see if the problem goes away, and then change back.

    That's a weird problem.

    Changing resolutions seemed to have fixed it. Wierd problem indeed. Never had that happen on a Windows PC. Guess that just instills my faith in em *poo on MACs!*
