    Hi everyone

    I have stubbled on a small problem.
    My mouse and trackpad settings has gone up in smoke, it's a bit frustrating, so does anybody have an idea how to solve it?

    Maybe it's this? -

    "If your Keyboard & Mouse prefpane stops working, go to /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Keyboard.prefPane/Contents/Resources/ and delete your language .lproj file. The prefpane will now be in English but at least it'll work. Alternatively, you can try replacing it with the .lproj file from a genuine Mac OS X install: it worked for me under Mac OS X 10.5.4, but not under Mac OS X 10.5.6..."

    Noppe tried this at first since I thought that was the problem but... no luck.

    I'm thinking if somebody can upload their pref file so I can test if that works.

    Does nobody read the guides they supposedly follow?
    You should have backed up the prefpane before updating to 10.5.6
    I would upload mine but AAO is completely dead at the moment

    I did back it up...
    And it worked perfectly for like a week, but one day it was just gone.

    THATs whats making me confused.

    do you still have the backup - if yes, you could try to replace it again.
