After reading a bunch of threads here and somewhere else, I found out that the only way for some of my G7 mouse button options to work under Crysis was to make my G7 mouse run as an admininistrator, I did that and it worked perfect but now, everytime I restart or reboot Vista, I have to go to the obnoxious process of allowing and comfirming to Vista that I want to run the mouse as an admin.

Is there a way to get rid of this nagging situation? I understand Vista does for security reason but Jesus , make me sign some sort of agreement that I won't sue Microsoft if I even get a spyware for all I care but let me do what I want to do!

And you don't consider the coders of Crysis to be at fault? The mouse works
for all operating system functions - right? Why would you think that
Microsoft should solve the problems coded into Crysis?

Hmmm, I think you have missunderstood me, let me put it to you another way...

Under Windows XP Pro w/SP3, I run a Custom setup for Crysis and my G7 buttons and it works perfect.

Now, under Vista x64, this same method could not be obtain. Later (after reading other forums), I learn it was because Vista requires me to run the mouse as an Administrator, which I did but now, Vista also requires me to authenticate that I am an administrator everytime I boot or reboot by going thru the Allow/confirm BS, this is why I was asking for a work around and I never thought it was Crysis fault.

Again, if Crysis was written correctly for Vista 64 you would not be having
this problem.

Can you get pass the Almighty God Syndrome and tell me if there is a work around or do you feel better everytime you look down onto others?

I honestly don't give a rat's ass who's at fault here, I am trying to find a solution and the last thing I need is to get into a debate for something this stupid.

Thanks

If I had a problem with software I would certainly take it up with the
manufacturer. Now, it could just be that they don't think that many will try
to run their program under Vista 64 bit - so they aren't too concerned about
the few people who have problems.

Wait for their next release or service pack.

This appears to be a Crysis limitation, I'm on a G5 myself, which runs
the same software as a G7, and don't have any issues.

Does Crysis itself run as an administrator?

Yes, I have Crysis running as an Admin as well and on DX10 as default. Aside from the nag of having to allow/confirm, the mouse/game combo runs fine in game. Vista sure has some wierd quirks but I guessou either have to live with it or abandon the whole thing all together

To prevent Vista from asking for your permission for everything, you have to disable UAC (User Account Control).
It is put there as a safeguard with the mindset that it helps so if a program is trying to run autonomously in the background, you, the user, would be alerted to its presence before something malicious happens.
However, a large majority of what goes on on most people's computers is safe, so it becomes second nature to "accept" whatever pops up, thereby lessening the usefulness of the safety check.

To disable UAC:
=> Start Menu
==> Control Panel
===> User Accounts
====> If you have multiple account names, click on the account that you use. (Note: you must have administrator privileges.)
=====> Turn User Account Control on or off. (bottom most link)
======> Uncheck the box, then click okay. (A restart is probably needed)
