Mighty Mouse acting weird

[MasterC]

Earlier today I installed USBOverdrive, which made my PowerMate not work. So I uninstalled USBOverdrive, rebooted and reinstalled the PowerMate preference pane. When I had USBOverdrive installed, I didn't mess with any settings. I only had it installed for a couple minutes before figured out that my PowerMate wasn't working.

Now, for some reason, my Mighty Mouse is acting really weird. Whenever I go to scroll down, it shoots to the end of the page. Somtimes, I'll open a webpage and it will scroll very fast to the bottom of the page, going up a few inches along the way. So I checked the Preferences for it, and it was set to where I always have it. My side buttons (Expose) don't work, and neither does my scroll ball click (which I have set to open a new tab with a link).

I rebooted countless times, both with the mouse unplugged and plugged in, and nothing seems to fix it. Any ideas on what I can do? It's driving me crazy because it's detected in System Preferences, but no matter what setting I change, it doesn't respond. :|

Is there such a thing like the windows device manager feature where you can right click on a piece of hardware and uninstall, and when you reboot it will automatically install?

Edit: I did some googling and found there isn't any such thing :/ Try reinstalling USBOverdrive and see if the mouse works with that installed.

I reinstalled USBOverdrive like you suggested, and it still didn't work. But, during this process I found out that there's an uninstaller. You can't just remove the pref pane like I was doing >.<. Thanks for the suggestion!

No worries! Glad something good came out of it =D

Hey Master C - did you happen to try just speeding the mouse up in the mouse pref pane stock from Apple? I had installed USB Overdrive at one point when i first got the Mac because using the mouse stock, felt kind of "muddy". So, I installed it and it ran great. Later, I reinstalled OSX (Didn't need to, system ran fine, just wanted to for some sick reason), and forgot to install the USB Overdrive. I haven't noticed that "muddy" feeling like I used to. Of course, I may have gotten used to it. :unsure:

As you can see from the pic attached, this is where I have mine set. ;)

I tried speeding it up even more, but it turns out the USBOverdrive installs its own set of drivers in place of the Apple provided ones. Those drivers were causing them problem. And I have my tracking set pretty high, cause it does feel a little slow. :)
