Not so long ago I posted that I had a problem with mouse buttons not working, took me a while but I've eventually found a fix so thought I'd share it.
The problem is that the mouse has 9 programmable buttons, they work fine outside of the game, but in game only mouse 1/2/3/4/5 (the ones that WAR recognises) will work. They still do not work if you reprogram them to other keys such as PgUp, L, # or anything else.
This is apparently a Vista only problem and is caused by the fact that Logitech Setpoint (the program to program the buttons) is designed around XP and not Vista. I use Vista64 Home Premium.
I found this fix worked for me, and all the buttons (included scroll left and right) now work fine. I have heard this also works for the Razer mouse as people are also having similar problems with that.
Follow these instructions to create the task to run setpoint:
After restart the buttons work fine in game, and can be programmed to other keys in setpoint. In option 1a click manage programs and find warhammer.exe to run them with WAR only and allow them to keep their defaults out of game, this allows you to keep the On the fly sensitivity changing and scroll left/right features outside of WAR. WAR will not recognise buttons 6-9 so you need to rebind these to something else (I use i L ; and ' for example as I rarely press them normally)
Note: This also works for the curse client which is blocked everytime on boot up for some people. And probably any other XP/x86 programs you need to run at startup. This should work for Razer too.

- Remove setpoint from Start -> All Programs -> Startup.
- Also remove setpoint from MSCONFIG (type msconfig in Start -> Search if you dont know what it is, then goto startup tab and untick Setpoint, click ok) Then restart.
- Then you need to create a new task in the Task Scheduler to run the program at log on without vista blocking it's functions in game(for me this wasnt in accessories so type Task Scheduler into the Search box after pressing start button)
