Mouse's back button is not working

Mazspeed · May 7th, 2005

Ok I have a Logitech mouse that is not working correctly. It's one of the new optical ones with the scroll, and back button feature on the top of the mouse. Problem is that it doesn't work. My last Logitech mouse I had, had the same button, and did work, but this new one doesn't. I try and change my mouse properties and it seems broken as it just goes back to the normal default setting. I can't change anything, and I did load the disk, so now I'm confused on what to do.

Thanks in advance
Mike

Are the drivers up to date? (This coming from someone who just had driver problems

)

I would uninstall the software that came with the mouse. Then it will default back to well....default settings. Unless you use the software for custom buttons, I would uninstall it.

Hey guys, I did both :-(
So far nothing has worked. It seems very odd.

what mouse is it?

It's the logitech Cordless click optical mouse. It's the $39 dollar model. My mouse settings are unable to be changed either. For some reason when you do change it, it goes right back to the default settings.

On my MX1000 I needed to set the back button to a "generic button" in Setpoint. Firfox worked fine after that.
