There's two problems you're running into:

1. The "Option" statement in the POPMENU system requires the full command to be surrounded by quote marks and does NOT work if the command you are trying to put in there has a set of quote marks itself. In other words, no nested quotes.
2. The BIND commands works a little weird inside a POPMENU. It actually DOES work and shows you a message that it was bound, but for some weird reason, the bind doesn't actually take effect until after you Log Out of the game and log back in. This basically renders it useless.

I really wish POPMENU would get some bugs fixed and become a fully supported interface tool. It would really rock if we could get these bugs fixed and have some additional features added. I'm not holding my breath though.

Where's that picture of the G110 and G510 from?

I was just looking at these and thinking I may get a G110 but the Logitech website showed that the Enter key of every G series was a double-width key with the Backslash above it which is the ONLY layout I will ever get in a keyboard. Your picture shows a double-height Enter key with Backslash to the left of it for the G110 and G510.

I think yours may be a picture of an older version. Either that or do they have multiple keyboard layouts, possibly region-based?

And that's all my MasterMind ever uses anymore. Getting any more granular than this is obsessive overkill in my opinion.

You're not missing anything, your teammate was. This quote says it all:
Even on the worst PUG ITF I've been on lately, where we lost one person and no one was very serious, we had two MMs with all Pets out and we still "roflstomp"ed Rommy fairly easily.

Seriously, it may cause you to take another 1-2 minutes to defeat Rommy if you max out his Nictus' healing. Normally, every ITF I've been on just flat-out ignores all the Nicti anyway.

At least in my experience, the "bad" part of Knockback is a horrible exaggeration. I've been playing an Energy Blaster since the game launched and I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times anyone has ever complained about my Blaster's Knockback and he has at least two powers with the full 6-slot Kinetic Crash Knockback IO set.

Unless you're fighting stuff lower than you, and when on teams it's usually +1s anyway, the knockback distance is usually around 5-10', except with Power Push (awesome power for controlling Bosses!!!) that might hit 15' or so sometimes.

I used to do the "Hover Knockdown" method as well but since respeccing out of Hover long ago, I still don't have any troubles with my KnockBack becoming annoying for two main reasons:

1. In a group, the minions and LTs die quickly enough that it doesn't matter and the bosses have KB reduction that decreases the distance they are knocked back.
2. When Solo, you WANT as many enemies on their back far away from you, especially if you're not Hovering. With Energy Torrent for Minions and LTs while Power Push handles the Bosses, your enemies spend 33%-75% or more of the time on their back or standing back up.

My actual recommendation for something that's fun, active and gives a challenge while still being powerful would be a Trick Arror/Archery Defender, or an Archery/Trick Arrow Corrupter. My choice was the Defender since it seems the higher Debuff values of the Defender play better in a group than the higher damage of the Corrupter.

Again, still not following you there, but whatever, it's probably just semantic differences in my generalizing with what I meant and what you interpreted anyway.

Ah, good point there. I never really subscribed to "Programming for the Protection of the Clueless Masses". I'm too used to always being an "Admin" user and relatively never having troubles with or because of it. I forget that programmers and Operating Systems are supposed to "protect" clueless computer users from their own ignorance or stupidity. On an important system like a corporate network, financial system, or something else critical, I can understand it. On my home recreational computer? I just want the games to work without the operating system causing unnecessary problems. I can protect my computer myself just fine.

Not to nitpick here, but what is incorrect in what I said? I generalized a bit but otherwise what I said was correct.

Now THAT is incorrect. Those "bad practices" you mention were how programs HAD to behave simply because that's how Windows worked in the Pre-Vista days. File System and Registry Virtualization was created for Backwards Compatibility in Windows Vista+ so that the new protected operating system locations would still be protected while still allowing programs created under the older paradigm to still operate (almost) normally.

I use the Insert, Home, PageUp, etc. keys for things like this since they're relatively handy and aren't used for much otherwise.

Fortunately, there's not that many bonuses where the actual displayed bonus text and the hidden name are different. LOTG +Rech is the only thing I can think of.

From what I've seen, basically only two things you need to ask:

• Type of Bonus: Is the type of Bonus the same? A "Global" bonus from a single specific IO Recipe. A "Regular" bonus gained from a certain number of IO Recipes from a specific set slotted into one power.
• Exact Values of the Bonus: Are the values of the bonuses EXACTLY the same?

If either of these questions results in a "No" then you can have 5 of each bonus. In this case, Mids is pretty accurate. I have yet to finish a build in-game that differed from the values given by Mids.

I did the same thing when I first started planning sets. I thought you could only have 5 of the same category of bonuses (such as "Ranged Defense") regardless of the value.

COH actually supports up to eight mouse buttons as well, a simultaneous Left+Right click, as well as all nine items modified by the Shift, Ctrl, and Alt keys.

You can bind commands to all of these mouse control items:

• LBUTTON
• RBUTTON
• MBUTTON
• BUTTON4
• BUTTON5
• BUTTON6
• BUTTON7
• BUTTON8
• MOUSECHORD

Not sure why your game isn't recognizing button 4 and 5 EXCEPT for the fact that nothing is programmed by default to BUTTON4 and higher, you have to /bind them manually.

I think you can right-click the game name in the NCSoft installer and pick the folder you want to install it to. I think I remember seeing a Dev/Comm post about doing it this way so you don't have to re-download everything on a "new" install.

That's called a sternum not ribs. Besides, I've seen women with 100% natural "tracts" that look pretty much like Mother when they're wearing a push-together top similar to that. Real "tracts" don't go all the way up to the collarbone.

Those sound like diametrically opposed statements there.

That's probably the root of the problem. If neither the old nor new updaters are working, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest neither one is the problem. Most likely it's related to UAC. Windows Vista's version of UAC is notoriously more finicky than the one in Windows 7.

If you don't feel like turning UAC off, I would suggest installing (or moving) COH (and any other MMOs with an updater actually) into a folder that is NOT in the "Program Files" folder. Window's UAC feels like it has to control or at least monitor EVERYTHING inside the "Program Files" folder. If you make a "Games" folder in the root of your C: (or other) drive and install all you MMO games there, UAC has MUCH less involvement with the things that go on in that folder.

If you right-click a pet in-game you should see an "Info" option. In that window, you should be able to look at the numbers/effects of every power that the pet has.

You can also look at a pet's Combat Attributes the same way.

Because you haven't followed the proper chain of command in Blue-side Contact unlocking. This happens when you outlevel your current contacts. You have to be introduced to your contacts.

Like StarGeek said, you should go through your current contacts, and even look at some of your Inactive contacts for introductions to new contacts.

Another thing to try is the Midnighter Club Unlock Mission Arc. That one gives you a Contact Introduction at (or at least very near) your current level.

Unfortunately, PopMenu can't use the NumberPad number keys themselves as hotkeys to activate a menu option so I just use the top line numbers. It works pretty good this way though as I can use both hands.

For a buffer with two buffs to cast, I end up hitting keys like this (N# = number pad key):

Teammate 1
N1, 1, N1, 2

Teammate 2
N2, 1, N2, 2

Teammate 3
N3, 1, N3, 2

Teammate 4
N4, 1, N4, 2

etc...

It would all be so much easier if the Select commands would happen BEFORE the PowExec commands in the command interpreter. Then you could just use Chord Keys (Shift/Alt/Ctrl) along with the NumberPad keys to buff them.
