Logitech Cordless Trackman Wheel

Have encountered a problem all of a sudden. The Trackman works perfectly except that when the display etc goes to sleep it won't work unless you restart the iMac, when again it works perfectly until the next sleep. Worked prefectly up to today and the only change is a new battery.
Any ideas would be much appreciated

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I have the same problem with my iMac. I tried upgrading the driver,but that did not work...I'd be glad if someone find a solution, it makes my trackman unusuable.

It may not be related but now (when the Trackman is working) I find I cannot right click in Firefox.
I understand there was an issue with one Firefox add-on, but I don't have that particular add-on installed.

I gave up on Logitech's buggy drivers long ago and switched to Steermouse. Haven't had any Logitech mouse problems since.

Well, my Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman is working flawlessly under 10.6.3 after installing a new battery. You must have also just recently updated your system to 10.6.3 since it just came out last week.

No doubt everyone here has already done so, but have you checked under System Preferences, Logitech Control Center to make sure the various settings are still correct? And that you are using the most recent software version?

Also, where do you have the Logitech USB RF receiver plugged in? Keyboard? Directly into computer? Into a hub, powered or non-powered? Could be a factor.

We can always hope the answers to our problems will be so simple.

I think the problem is a conflict somewhere, the trouble is where!
