Mouse Issues?

Post by CryptidWorks »

One ongoing thing I've noticed in PCEM is issues with the mouse movement feeling weird like the acceleration or scaling isn't quite right. At least in Windows 98SE.

Is there a fix or setting for that I'm missing?

Did mouse acceleration exist in Win98? you might want to turn it on/off.

It's in Win9X (HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Mouse\ MouseSpeed). Windows 2000 and Me had options to adjust/disable acceleration (and XP would later jam this into a "Enhance pointer precision" checkbox)

I will have to try that next I boot up PCEM because it never even occurred to me that Windows 98 might have a mouse acceleration option that's causing conflicts since I haven't used since I was a kid like 20 years ago

I turned mouse speed clear down and though it isn't perfect it helped quite a bit
