Hello. I stupidly deleted this files:

AppleADBMouse.kext
AppleHIDMouse.kext


After that, when i restart the computer, appears a messages about "system extension could not be used" saying that AppleADBMouse.kext and AppleHIDMouse.kext are not correctly installed.

How can I recover this files? I made a copy of them to system>library>extensions, but it isn't working.

Can someone please help me? :( thanks in advance.

What exactly do you mean by this? Please be detailed in your reply ;)

Were you trying to troubleshoot your Mighty Mouse ... is that why you deleted these kext files?

Ok, ok, i'll try to explain it :)

I'm a mac user since yesterday, so i get doing things without knowing exactly what i'm doing. :confused:

I have a macbook and the 10.5.2 OS X version running. I was having trouble with using the secondary button in the right side of the mighty mouse. So I searched about it and found this site:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070103082828118

where someone says " What finally worked for me is: Go: Macintosh HD>System>Library>Extentsions and delete the files AppleADBMouse.kext and
AppleHIDMouse.kext ".

Well, I did it. After i did it, my right click started to work better, but when i restart the computer there is a warning saying about apppleadbmouse.kext and applehidmouse.kext that "System Extension could not be used".

What i did, after that, was going to the trash and getting back those files to the same place they were before: System>Library>Extensions. But when I restart the computer there is always the same system warning about those files being corrupted and not being used.
Sorry about my english, hope you understand. Thank you. :eek:
