Hello,

I have a very stupid question probably,but I just can't figure out a solution for this.

I bought an intellimouse explorer mouse today (5 buttons and scrollwheel) for my mac, installed the driver that came with the mouse. All goes well but when in i'm cinema I can't pan anymore. When I middle click, the mouse gives me the application switcher bar in OS X panther.

So I go into system preferences, and define C4D as an app that should be ignored by the intellipoint driver.
So now I can pan with alt+MMB but the mouse speed drops so much it becomes a hassle using the mouse in C4D. If I go out of C4D and back in the system, the speed is normal again (fast).

Anyone have a solution? It drives me mad. I had a logitech before and setup was much more simple (just assign clicknumber 3 to mmb in system preferences, an option which I can't even choose now).

thanks

Dont install the drivers, just use the system driver that OSX has.

Thanks mash, it works normal now. Was a bit apprehensive of messing with system drivers, but luckily there was a uninstaller.

Just crazy to think that the os x drivers just work better then the original drivers the mouse came from.

cheers
