Re: Cursor Speed

Thanks Dennis,

I found that option, but I can't seem to to get the speed back up to
the default level....And to beat it all, I just reinstalled xp home a
few days ago!

(I've experienced this problem with W98se too, but a reinstall of the
OS would fix things.)

My pc really boots up fast now since the reinstall, but I am at a loss
to figure out how to fix the cursor speed.

you can check control panel, open the keyboard applet, and adjust the
repeat delay and repeat rate.

further, some applications can take too much cpu cycles that affect
the speed of which the cursor on the screen responds.


If you just reinstalled Windows, perhaps you forgot to install drivers
for your machine's hardware - motherboard, video (which could be
causing the cursor problem), touchpad if a laptop, etc. If you did not
install drivers, then you need to do so. Never get drivers from Windows
Update. Get them from:

1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the
drivers.

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific
model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers
anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor. The older Aida32 is good for this, too.
