Mouse Sensitivity

Post by CABurton »

Hi. I am currently running Windows XP on VB on my Win 7 computer. Everything works fine except the mouse is too sensitive in games, not the desktop or anything, just games and other programs. What could be the cause of this?

PS. The mouse sensitivity is set to low on all of the games.

I found that going into "mouse" in the control panel and slowing the mouse all the way down takes care of this.

Better option: disable mouse integration when playing games. That makes it behave a lot better in games.
