Hi,

There was a new magic prefs update waiting on my imac to be downloaded so I did that, BUT ever since there's been a tiny dashboard appearing in the middle of the screen, containing all the currently active programs, finder and safari etc...........I've had a look around in the menus in an attempt to find how you turn this preference choice off......but to no avail and it's driving us mad! because it's just getting in the way!
Does anyone know how to get rid of this 'handy' little thing please?

Thanks

    I don't have one of these but as a first pointer I'd take a peek in the System Preferences (to be found in the Dock) and then under Hardware click on Mouse and see what options are there.

  • Take a look at this Apple help web page, it may offer a hint as to what is going on. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3058. Unfortunatly without this device to play with at home I can't try and replicate it to find out what is going on.
