Mouse 4 and 5 not working after installing win8

[3ventic]

My mouse4 and mouse5 buttons on my mouse stopped working in MTA after I switched to windows 8. They work fine on windows itself (return and forward in web browsers for example), but just won't get recognized by MTA.

I use a Razer Diamondback 3G, on which Razer dropped support a long time ago, right after windows 7 was released, so there's no recent driver update for it either.

Is there anything I can do until Christmas when I'm getting a new mouse (hopefully)?

Note; I'm using the latest Nightly of MTA and the latest available mouse drivers.

Just to make sure, are you doing the following to bind:

Settings->Binds->Double click on empty spot->Press mouse button 4 or 5

Yes, when I press mouse button 4 or 5, nothing happens. All other buttons seem to work. If I use the console or /bind command, it sets it, but won't work.

It's like MTA doesn't notice when I press the 2 buttons.

We've got no idea why it isn't working. Are you able to bind the buttons in other games and applications?

Hmm.. currently it seems like an issue with my drivers. Binding them works in source games, but not on MTA or minecraft. SA-MP crashes on start-up (maybe driver issue as well, not sure).

EDIT: I re-installed my driver and everything is fine now, thanks for the help anyway! I appreciate it.
