Yes sir, they're both ran as admin.  Still not working though :/

The reason for the problem is occuring is 2fold, 1: SWTOR requires admin access to make any changes to the game. This means that you allso have to give the Steelseries program admin access by going into the Steelseries folder and selecting all 3 application programs (the cataclysm mouse has only 2 i think), right clicking them and chose properties, compatibility and check the box that says "Run this program as administor.

The second part of the problem i'm not sure is with bad application recognition in the Steelseries program or if it's in SWTOR not recognising gaming mice custom profiles (my guess is the latter since so many had this issue from many many different brands)
Anyways, the second thing you have to do is: After creating your custom macros by assigning keys to ctrl+2 or what ever button press you prefer, is within the Steelseries application select "Profiles" in the top left corner and select "Edit program/app" In here, you can choose what game, file, folder what ever should make the steelseries app force activate your custom profile, in this case
SWTOR has 2 apps in its folder, the first one you will find is the launcher, this is not the application you need to add to make the macros work. you want "whatever your file location\Star Wars - The Old Republic\swtor\retailclient\swtor"

This will cause the game to automaticly recognise keypresses on your mouse when you assign the buttons you want in the keybinding editor in SWTOR

Man, I know this should work, but for some reason it still isn't working. I tried exactly what it said to do atleast 10 times, restarting everything everytime.  But no result.  I'm sorry for being such a difficult case :/

@lordwolffang

I'm not sure how much help I can be with this

I gather you have made swtor.exe run as administrator as well , that is the file he is referring to in the retailclient folder

I presume that is also the file to be pointed to in the profile settings

Thanks for all your help, I did have it ran as admin but it still wouldn't work for some reason.  But I appreciate everything you've done and all the time you've put into helping me. Hopefully I'll figure it out eventually haha
