Razer Diamondback mouse problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware,alt.games.half-life.counterstrike (More info?)

I have recently reformatted my HD and reinstalled Windows. Unfortunately
since I reinstalled Windows I can't seem to get any of the extra buttons on
my Razer Diamondback to work. Mouse1, 2 and 3 all work fine - but the other
ones don't.

I have installed the latest driver (5.0.9.0) from http://www.razerzone.com/
but it doesn't solve my problem.

Any suggestions?

Did you go into the driver control panel and configure the
button assignments?

If so, try uninstalling and reinstalling it. Does that
driver have any particular features you need? If not, you
might find that a popular 3rd party driver from MS,
Logitech, or others might also work.

some of my buttons seem blocked from some of the commands, which is really
annoying. IE i can customize it, however only to the two commands that they
see fit, not the 8 other commands i want.......etc

do you also find that it doesnt power up sometimes? and if you plug it in
while the pc is on, the pc powers off?

Thanks kony, I managed to get round the problem by programming it and
assigning the mouse button a keyboard key. Not ideal though (compared to the
way it was before my reformat).

No, but I've heard of it happening to others.

Nope.
