Well i think im getting closer to solving this problem now that i have reinstalled Retail Mac os x and updated 10.6.7(got file off a torrent site) the mouse turns solid black but now when i play video games instead of it staying Solid blue or black it takes on the correct shape and color depending on the game but upon exiting the games it goes back to a solid color. Annoying but im still working to fix this error and will post a guide for other people to see and know how to fix this error soon as i figure it out. so any idea's are still wonderful and needed. Thanx in advance.
