angel:

I have the Cordless Mouseman Optical. Plug the mouse into a USB port otherwise u wont be able to bind the extra buttons in the game. (Actually i cant remember if this problem was to fix mouse probs in MOHAA or in ut2003, LOL.) Anyway, I have the scroller set to Middle Button (dont worry, it will still work as a scroller) and the thumb button set to Enter.
Also, make sure "Use MS Office Compatible Scroll Only" is checked

You need to find out what MOHAA names the extra buttons. For example, since i have the mouse button assigned to Enter it is actually 0x00. The scroller/middle button is MOUSE3. This is what the lines in my cfg file looks like:
bind 0x00 "uselast"
bind MOUSE3 "weapprev"

To find out what the buttons are actually named, you need to run the game with the original MOHAA. Assign the buttons to commands, save and exit game.
Open c:\program files\ea games\mohaa\main\configs\unnamedsoldier.cfg with notepad.
Now look for the commands that u bound the buttons to. These are the actual names for the buttons in MOHAA.

For spearhead players, there is a bug with binding the extra buttons. You have to open c:\program files\ea games\mohaa\mainta\configs\unnamedsoldier.cfg and write the binds maually, save the file, then right mouse click on it, choose properties, and checkmark "Read-Only". Otherwise, MOHAAS will delete the key binds. My cfg file always wound up looking like this:
bind "uselast" (different from the above)

I found i had to set the file to read only otherwise i would have to rewrite this line before every game.

Also if u are running WinXP, u need to disable Private Messaging or you may encounter an inability to use the mouse.
Click Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services
Scroll down until u get to WMDM PMSP Service, double-click on it.
Set Startup Type to Manual. Under Service Status, click Stop. Hit Apply.
Reboot.
