hello,
after buying a microsoft sidewinder,logitech mx518,saitek, the assigned keys on all of them don't work when i run call of duty united offensive in administrator mode, and if you have vista and know the game, you'll know you must run in admin mode or punkbuster kicks you all day long. But if i run CodUO not in admin mode, all side and wheel buttons work fine.


after searching google, contacting HP, emailing Activision, and asking tech help in 2 useless pc world's, still no answer to my dreaded mouse problem, so if there is anyone with some ideas, they would be extremely gratefully received.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

amazing that something as simple as a mouse problem and not game makers,microsoft,pc world tech help, HP,and now a pchelp website has no answer! i can't be the only user that has this trouble?
please anyone, help! am on my knees here!

Hello and Welcome to PCHF

Please keep in mind that none of us who work on these support forums are paid for what we do. Our efforts are on an entirely volunteer basis, and if we're away from the forums for any amount of time, that means that our real-life responsibilities haven't left us with any free time to dedicate to our work here. Also we are still in the Holiday Season and there are some who are still away from their normal environment and visiting family in another location.

As for your mouse issue, are you certain it is compatible with Vista, cause what I read here is :
Consumer Guide: Logitech MX518 gaming-grade optical mouse Review

Understood. excuse me i didn't mean to sound rude.



about mouse problem, its just so strange that all 4 mouse's assigned keys work fine on vista desktop and other games including call of duty 1,2,4.

they all just don't like call of duty united offensive in administrator mode.
