Solved Logitech MX 500 & Windows 7

[manny42]

Hi there,

I'm still using the old MX500 that worked perfectly under PX and Vista.
Now, under windows 7, it is recognized as 2 button mouse but it has more.

>>Does anybody know how I can tell Win7 that it IS a 8 buttons mouse ?
I just need more buttons and a way to assign keyboard letters to buttons.

Thx a lot!

Just install the software for the mouse, that should enable all its features.

Have you tried it?
I really don't want to screw up my install because of a non supported driver.

By the way, I'm talking about the logitech MX500 mouse.

Thx

It wont screw up your install, I used to have that mouse.

Were you ever able to install software that helped you use the buttons on the MX500? Everything I've read says that you can't and I have been unsuccessful so far.

No, I didn't try.

In fact, I can use most of buttons but I cannot reassign actions to them.

Bummer. I did try installing Mouseware, no go.

True the buttons are functioning, but one button on the top of the mouse doesn't seem to have a function and it was the one I want to reprogram.

Guess I'll need a new rodent. Oh Santa!

Thanks manny42, have a treat!
