I purchased a Logitech MX3200 keyboard and mouse set and I was rather surprised when I found that the extended mouse buttons didn't work in CoH. It was basically like having a 2-button mouse with an unclickable scroll wheel again! I plugged my trusty Logitech MX510 back in, and much to my dismay, the SetPoint Software took it over as well - I'd now lost my button 3, 4 and 5 bind functionality.
I talked with a friend who also plays CoH and asked them about it, and they said they just uninstalled the SetPoint software and stuck with the old 9.x mouse drivers. I also looked it up in the forums, and the only time SetPoint is mentions is in Vista issues... and I run Windows XP, not Vista, so the "administrator" fix wasn't applicable, much like a few other people who have asked about Setpoint and haven't managed to find an answer.
So I set to looking at how to fix the problem, eventually getting to a generic non-profiled setup.
Eventually I figured out how to set the basic 5 mouse buttons under "My Mouse" in the SetPoint software. If you want to have Button 3, 4 and 5 to act like normal mouse buttons, you have to set the SetPoint software to list those buttons as "Generic Button" in the Other category. Dont use the specific named Tasks. Once those are set, then they act as generic mouse buttons.
For buttons 6 thru 10, aka the mouse wheel left tilt and right tilt, and the zoom/magnify buttons, you have to assign "Keystroke Assignments" since there are no such "real" mouse buttons.
For CoH, I assigned Ctrl-PgUp and Ctrl-PgDown to the tilt in SetPoint. (keystroke assignment), since that's what Firefox uses to move between tabs. I assigned some stuff like waving and a flight pose to those keystrokes with a bind.
Heres a sample of what my travel buttons look like. (Yes I have a lot of travel options)
- Superspeed on 7
- Stealth on 8
- /bind y powexec_name Hover (7,8 and "y" are an easy reach from my esdf movement keys)
- SetPoint button 6 (tilt left)=Ctrl+PageUp, /bind Ctrl+PageUp e wave
- SetPoint button 7 (tilt right)=Ctrl+PageDown, /bind Ctrl+PageDown e Flypose3
- (button 8 and 9 unmodified, those buttons are not so easy to click for me.)
- SetPoint button 10 = PageDown (which is the default CoH command to reset the camera)
Now as I mentioned before, this seems to be a generic non-application specific setup, but I imagine I can make a 'game profile' for it so I can do other functions in other applications... but I will have to figure it out. I'm just glad to have my Fly power back on the side of my mouse again.
If someone knows how to configure a game profile or has searched it, can you please append info to this thread please?
Cheers,

For those of you who want a summary:
- set button 4 5 6 to Generic Button in "My Mouse"
- set button 7 - 10 to Keystroke Assignment and choose some keystrokes that wont mess up other apps.
- bind your favorite commands directly to button 4-6
- bind your favorite commands indirectly to button 7-10 via keystrokes.
- you dont need that UberOptions program.
