You could use USB Overdrive if you don't like the software someone else has suggested you download. It's a nice program, particularly if one has a mouse with more than two buttons. But it may be too fancy for you. > oh, one more thing, do i need to uninstall software when i want to get rid > of it? Or do i just drag the folder to the trash? Is it ok to delete *.log > files as well? Dragging the folder to the trash is pretty much all that's needed. You *may* want to delete preference files, and yentry in the Apple Menu Items folder (both these just for tidiness) and any extra extensions and control panels, or folders inside the system folder that were installed. Also, should there happen to be an alias in the Startup Items folder (inside the system folder) that will need deleting. But if you're unsure, fragging the main folder to the trash is all that's essential, everything else is just to get rid of clutter. Nice installers actually have an installation log, so you can see what else they installed. -- Remove "nospam" and "please" and "invalid" for a correct address
