Odd Logitech G5 behavior

[Dallows]

So I bought my girlfriend the G5 rev.2 and it's going this odd thing with the middle mouse button.

She uses it as her ventrilo "push-to-talk" button and occasionally holds it down for 5+ minutes. Though the length of the hold seems possibly unrelated as it has happened on holds for about a minute or so.

Anyway, what happens is she holds the middle mouse button and it just freaks out the mouse. It can get locked moving left or side to side and sometimes can't be corrected. If she opens the start menu while this is happening it just scrolls through the menu, not allowing her to stop or select anything.

I haven't done much troubleshooting, haven't been able to. I wanted to try and uninstall the software, use without and maybe see if there's an update.

Seems like maybe an autoscroll getting stuck, but it's not enabled. The middle mouse is just set to a generic button.

I'm trying the logitech support and boards, but no luck yet.

Why change the push to talk key? I've not yet been able to find another instance of this occurrence and a lot of people use that key for many different things.

Not always talking, playing music over vent, etc. And I did mention that it doesn't always happen over long periods, could be short use too.

The mouse is brand new and pristine, few weeks tops.

I used to do that too, on a rev 1, but if I had ever felt the need to talk for 5 min. straight I probably would have figured something else out.

The script thing he's talking about may be doable, but the easiest by far is to simply assign it to a thumb button, something on the keyboard, or go voice-activated.
