Quick note to any moderators, if you'd like to close one of the two identical topics, close the other one please. It was in the wrong section and I think that's why it wasn't getting answered...

Anyways...

I want dashboard to show up when I hit button three... I want Expose - All Windows to show up when I squeeze.

It works every time I change it. But after a few hours, I find that it's been switched so that button three is button three, squeezing is button four.

It wasn't happening the first few weeks that I was running Leopard... just for the past few days. I normally discover it in the morning when I go to check my hour by hour dashclipping by hitting the middle button and finding it doesn't bring dashboard up.

The things I've done since it happened last...

  • Changed the options back
  • Started the other topic
  • Played World of Warcraft
  • Put computer to sleep all night
  • Woke it up in the morning, checked weather on the dashboard (which means it must have been working)
  • Checked news from a bunch of sites including Blizzard, MacRumors, MacBytes, The SmashBros Dojo, and IGNGames... also looked at Crazy Apple Rumors.
  • Put computer to sleep most of the morning, woke it up in the afternoon.
  • Checked MacRumors and MacBytes, voted in the GameFAQs poll.
  • Tried bringing up the dashboard to check weather again, but it did nothing.
  • Tried using Exposé, not expecting it to work, and it didn't.
  • Brought up System Preferences to verify my suspicion that the options were changed to Button 3 and Button 4 again, and they were. I changed them back.
  • Quit System Preferences.
  • Tested to make sure Dashboard and Exposé were working again, they were.
  • Went to MacRumors Forums and wrote this post.

I have verified that no one else has touched my computer.

Anyone else have similar problems?

And for incase my wording is somehow bad and that may be why no one is helping me...

This is what I want it to be set at. It will have these settings for a few hours...
