bAz bAz hurray for chess(e) posts : 288 ok now, what am i doing with a column here, well i`v always noticed a slight lag and inconsistency with my mouse and keyboard. using a ms internet kb and a ms usb intelli 1.1 optical mouse. so i thought i`d research this and come up with some sorta help, well namely for myself but i guess others have had problems at one time or another. use whql drivers only: after you install your nvidia drivers - check the direct3d and opengl settings in control panel turn off vsync: www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/trouble/inputdelay.htm refesh tool www.majorgeeks.com/article.php?sid=1457 mouse fixes: www.hardcoreware.net/files/mouse_fix.reg thats a reg file, backup your registery settings first. i found this helps in all fps games. *backup reg first* does the mouse fix save fps? smooths the mouse out i think maybe because the mouse polls less - usb mouses do use cpu cycles, and unnecessary acceleration may cause severe fps drops - especially when turning/moving a lot with the mouse win xp services: turn off system restore turn off gay services: www.techspot.com/tweaks/winxp_services it made a fair bit of difference to my play, and well everyone has there own settings and style, a good idea is when you have your machine running the way you want is to save the registery file, either the whole lot, or just the mouse/input settings.
