Hi! We have a mini-mac that we use a wireless Microsoft keyboard/mouse for. My husband got on System Preferences and flipped the mouse from primary "left click" to "right click". So now you have to right click everything.

PROBLEM: System Preferences is messed up!!!

System Preferences pulls up, but part of it is off the screen. You can choose an option, but then cannot change anything on it. For example, you can choose the Mouse & Keyboard Option and can see the change you want to make, but cannot make it.

Help! We have no idea if this has something to do with the way he changed the mouse or something else. But the mouse is now very annoying and concerning that we cannot access System Preferences. If you have any tips or ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

PS This is on the Admin side. If you access another user (like our child), the mouse is correct.

No, you cannot drag it over. And you can still access the Keyboard & Mouse option, but it won't let you make any changes. Any other suggestions?

Go into System Preferences and see if Zoom under Universal Access has been accidentally turned on, and next check resolutions under Display in System Preferences. If you get things right ban him!
