I have the exact same issue with my MacBook Pro with a Core 2 Duo. Installed the Logitech drivers, then allowed it to restart. Now it will not boot at all.

Crap.

Sorry — I forgot to check back in, and now I’m not at home to check the driver version. I’ll try to remember!

Usually, Logitech mice/keyboards are not bad. I have experience with a lot of models (mice only) and 2 or three keyboards. But I never used cordless ones, though… Strange, never heard of a mouse/kbd ruining a whole computer, but I guess, even the incredible can happen

Currently, using Logitech Y-SZ49 keyboard (with extra multimedia keys, like, volume control, play/pause button, etc.) and the thing is, never had to install drivers to make all the extra keys work – did work straight from plugging-in

Logitech is a brand which has the fame of being very robust, but I’ve seen Logitech mice fail soon after purchase, and some models are very awkward to use (difficulty when clicking middle button on the mouse, wrong shapes, etc.)… So let’s say, there eare good Logitech products and bad ones. I guess, you have to discover for yourself, which ones are the good ones and which – the bad

You should try using USB Overdrive if the Logitech drivers are giving you grief. I have a Logitech MX1000 mouse, but went the USB Overdrive route after dealing with all the issues and shortcomings of the Logitech software/drivers.

I’ve had serious problems with Logitech software, to the point where it would make my MX1000 mouse lag compared to using the default MS driver, and kept on loosing settings.

Avoid!

If you want the extra buttons to work, you need drivers. In this case, I want the scroll-wheel button on the mouse to perform a double-click action, and the volume keys on the keyboard to work.

Uhm, why do you have to install drivers for a mouse and keyboard? Especially when you say you plugged them in and they worked? Reminds me of these strange “driver disks” coming with monitors. But maybe I’m just spoiled by xfree/xorg.

Anyway, good luck with your data!
