A Belkin Mini Wireless Optical Mouse frees you from the restriction imposed by the limit of the wire that your mouse uses to connect to your computer. The Belkin model works up to three feet away from the receiver and operates on a 27 MHz frequency. It's smaller than a regular mouse, making it easy to add it to a laptop case or desk drawer without losing much space in the process. Before you can use the Belkin Mini Wireless Optical mouse, you must install it. The receiver and the mouse should sync automatically; if they don't, you must perform the sync manually.
1
Press the bottom release tab on the top cover of the mouse. Insert the batteries included in the package and replace the cover.
2
Turn on your computer. Plug the Belkin USB receiver into a USB port on your computer. The drivers will install automatically.
3
Press the sync button on top of the USB receiver and then press the sync button on the bottom of the mouse to connect the two devices.
Warning
close Before you can install the Belkin mouse, remove drivers for other wireless mouse types on your computer.
It doesn't seem like Innovera has a website or support of any kind. If you have Mac OSX or Windows 7, the Operating System may find and install the driver for you. Hopefully you have another mouse to use in order to do that. I wouldn't trust googling it and using a driver website download.
If it was disabled try this. push the FN or function key, found near the lower left of the keyboard. Hold that down and then push the F10 or F12 key. Should be F10 on that model. That should turn it back on. The pads are pretty reliable and I've actually only ever seen one die in about 15 years.
If you are stuck installing then plug the mouse in and boot. It should actually find the mouse as new software and install a default driver. You may have to reboot it once after before it works. To work without a mouse you use the tab and spacebar. Tab mose from one box to another and space acts like a mouse click. Alt tab moves from one program to another. And to close use alt -F4 and to shut down use alt-f4. You shouldn;t need to do that if you boot with the mouse in the usb so it finds it.
Here are the minimum specs your Mac will need to run Leopard, from Apple:
Intel, G5, or 867MHz+ G4 processor
512 megs of RAM (though if you only have 512 megs of RAM you should get some more. Trust me, I'm a pundit)
DVD drive (Leopard is shipping on a DVD, and your Mac needs to read it to be able to install it)
9GB
of free disk space (though I bet if you customize the install and leave
out all those printer drivers and extra languages you can save lots of
space)
Go to your apple menu, and look on the "about this mac" If your machine doesn't have the mhz's you are out of luck. If you don't have a DVD drive, you are not going to be able to install either... K
Hi GInette, sorry to hear you are having problems,
here is how you eject a disk that is stuck in the optical drive of a Mac.
Shut down the Mac.
press the power on button
VERY QUICKLY, press the mouse button, the trackpad button and hold it down firmly until the disk ejects.
This is a built-in hardware command independent of your system and always works when doe right, unless the optical drive is no longer recognized by the Mac or if something is inhibiting it's ejection.
Good luck
Glad I checked with FixYa! The prompt response was very much appreciated!!!
Thank you,
