G5 Mouse Issue

Jaxt Posts: 178 Forumite
For some unknown reason my Logitech G5 mouse will not recognize its assigned keystrokes within the game Battlefield 2. .

Keystroke assignments are:-

Scroll wheel DOWN = Button #1
Scroll wheel LEFT = Button #4
Scroll wheel RIGHT = Button #3
Front side button = Button #2
Back side button = Button #NUM2

The mouse is working fine if I use the keystrokes in Notepad and even when I use the mouse within Battlefield 2 on my other computer.
I have downloaded the latest driver software from Logitech, uninstalled both the software and Battlefield 2 and re-installed them but the problem remains.
I have created another account to see if it was a profile problem but that didn't work either.

One more thing, this has happened since I installed Vista Premium over a fresh install of Windows XP Pro. Could that cause issues?
I do have the latest Vista Setpoint software installed!

I am now lost as what to do next. Any ideas please.
I appreciate any replies.
Thank you.

    Why is it that when I get a problem, no one can help me? Boo hoo.

    I have this problem on a few forums and it appears to be one of the world's great mysteries.

    I going to stick to knitting from now on.

    Looks like it's a very specific question for people who use advanced features of a Logitech mouse in a specific game, and maybe only in Vista - you probably won't get a response here unless you're lucky, it's a money saving site! I think the best place to try would be to email Logitech support, or look for a gaming forum to find other users...
