acctually 2 be more accurate from my understanding it was built on the quake world engine.

Hi, i was just wondering if anyone knows of a good program that would make up a quick summary of a system for me. ie hardware listing and installed programs etc, also possibly a win2k compatiblity check for possible upgrade. pref all in the same program and small for quick install etc.

thnx mate. i used qfix in xp but with version 2. i had version 1 for 2k i didnt realise there was a 1.5 cheers

i worked out how 2 do it with the application compatibilty toolkit 2 for xp but i cant find the option in win2k can someone plz help me out, cos it was very handy

I already fixed it, for some reason the alt tab program that comes with powertoys does it, so just end task the process "fastswitch.exe"

1st of all make sure enhance pointer procision is off. that basically turns it from high mouse accel 2 very low (ie in between no and low mouse accel) based on the logitech mouseware settings, and since i use low mouse accel normally it seems fine 2 me. my main problem wasnt with the acctual mouse accel because once set right i acctually prefer it, but it was with the keyboard and mouse lag that often happened in the hl engine when moving strafing and using the mouse at same time.

ok since running xp i have been experiencing problems with my mouse ie mouse accel and mouse halts etc in the half life engine. well my friend got pissed off and started turning off services, and it stopped. so he cornered it down 2 the taskswitch.exe that comes with powertoys and it seems 2 work for him so give that a go guys and see what happens also use -noforcemparms after ur shortcuts 2 turn off the mouse accel

the mouse acceleration itself is ok for me, u can turn it off with the -noforcemparms command, but my bigest problem is the lag that the keyboard and mouse often experence this is for the hl engine in xp only dunno about other games. ie when walking forward and strafing the mouse seams 2 halt and stop, which tends 2 be annoying when u are trying 2 aim at someone. so i have since turned back 2 2k for this reason alone i really wish valve or micrsoft would fix this or if even someone found a hack / patch 2 fix it

my first advice is the search button, and secondly is using -noforcemparms after any application u want 2 run with out the mouse accel also turning "enhance pointer procision" reduces it. i am still looking for a cure 2 the dreded keyboard and mouse lag, ie mouse just stoping on the spot when u press 2 keys on the keboard at once (ie moving forward and strafing in a fps. sometimes makes the mouse just stop in its tracks) and the keyboard having slow reaction time (ie moving forward, u let go but it still takes a few steps forward)

i have an asus p3v4x with a logitech mouse man optical. and a microsoft natural keyboard. i have tried with the logitech software (the xp compliant ones) without, with the 4 in 1's (4.33's and with out) since i have heard many ppl suffering from the same problem, im lookin straight at any changes microsoft has made 2 the way it handles irq's etc for these devices. as i said it works perfect with windows 2000 and have tried all relevent drivers (also i have tried using a usb 2 ps2 converter 2 check the usb and it still did it)

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<BUMP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

ok guys i really need 2 know what has been done about this problem, i have heard it from many sources and need 2 fix it as its pissing me off. both my mouse and keyboard quite requently get lagged in games. ie like strafing and moving the mouse it just halts for a sec. and the keyboard some times keeps moving when its not being pressed, this is purley a xp problem as 2k works perfect and i have heard many ppl complain about it but with no solution. does xp manage irq differently or something? as i have noticed it seems more apparent on slower pcs **NOTE** this is not related 2 the mouse accel in xp

i am suffering from the keyboard lag and the mouse lag as well. if anyone knows how 2 fix it id be very greatfull. (btw tapek the -noforcemparms is a seperate issue regarding the built in mouseacceleration of xp. all that command does is overright it.)

which drivers are we talkin about? the creative ones say they wont work in xp. and the other station drivers ones, the link is down for me.
