My problem is that every time I change batteries, I cant get the mouse to work again without rebooting the machine! I have an iMac G5 and I love it, but this is driving me nuts......Am I doing something wrong in my battery replacement methods? Do I need to do somethiong special to the mouse or the computer before switching out the batteries? I've checked my preferences and all my settings and it seems that bluetooth is discoverable etc., the mouse has never quit except for following battery changes. please someone help me!

With no changes to the OS or any other trauma, it stopped connecting about a month ago. I have followed all of the bluetooth set up protocols, and get "discovered" but cannot get "paired". I have tried every permutation and conbination of settings, new batteries, etc., etc. It works, is discovered and paired on other machines. Could my bluetooth be toothless?
