I have Win Xp. I have a logitech mini mouse that normally is very quick. I have taken to playing those games you buy on SHOCKWAVE etc...I notice my mouse gets slower and 'shakier' the longer I use it. What can I do? Is there an excellent mouse AVAIL. I don't like wireless and I NEED the mini size.
It seems like there ought to be something I can do to clear it up. When I reboot it works fine, which I have to do after I play a game and want to just browse again.
Microsoft says my drives etc are all up to date.

By 'the longer I use it' I mean when playing a game, not in ordinary browseing.If they are not fast paced bang-bang, shoot 'em up type games, it some times helps to reduce hardware accelleration. Right click desktop/click properties/click settings tab/click advanced button/move slider bar to the left.Is this a wireless mouse?

Possible causes:
Bad signal
Low battery It's an optical wired mouse. I am playing 'Snowy Lunch Rush' and I think its really fast paced. EVerything starts out normal, but when I advace to faster levels the mouse can't move fast enough and won't hit on objects when I move it there. It looks almost like when 2 magents repel each other. Know what I mean vern?New possible CAUSE:
Dimmed out optical mouse


Your mouse is most likely wearing out

Try borrowing one from a friend if no one else's advice works.
Then tell us if it works better I guess I just need to get a better mouse. I saw one called the blue razer especially for GAMERS. ha ! Now that ought to do it.
I increased the speed setting on mine to max lol and it's better, but I need more muhahahahahaI don't think it is the mouse. It was outdated driver. I got new gforce and everythings great Sorry about moving your post more than once, its a bit difficult to move some of these with the selection menu we get
