Hi everyone.
I have a Logitech MX900 mouse. When I start the Logitech Software, the "back" and "forward" buttons on the mouse dont work. When I exit the Logitech Software then both of the buttons work. The thing is that I need the Logitech software to be on because if it isnt on, then the multimedia keys on the keyboard dont work.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

To get buttons 4/5 working in all programs:
A. Set buttons 4 and 5 to the "Generic Button" function in SetPoint and they will send the standard mouse4/5 events to all programs in Windows. The extra buttons (6+) would still need to be set as keystrokes to be seen by your programs.
or
B. Install the uberOptions mod and add an application-specific profile for each program you want special settings for.
uberOptions adds application-specific settings to automatically support Firefox, Opera, SlimBrowser, and Maxthon browsers. It sets buttons 4/5 to Keystroke "Alt-Left" and "Alt-Right" in those programs.
This has the advantage of being able to set other application-specific profiles for any program you want (such as games). (Note that application-specific settings aren't compatible with the "Generic Button" function, so you can only do one or the other)
To send the standard mouse4/5 events with application-specific settings, you can use uberOptions along with AutoHotkey to send the correct events. (You have SetPoint send an unused keyboard key such as F19, then have an AutoHotkey macro catch the keyboard event and send the mouse event you actually want. uberOptions comes with example AutoHotkey macro files for this.)
See the uberOptions installer.
