Guest Fist2k7 Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I have been struggling with XP and their stupid acceleration for 3 years. Everytime you reboot no matter what mouse driver I tried Kensington Logitch whatever..XP takes over and the speed goes loony ....TW Golf I play and accceleration/tempo is all important. It suddenly occured to me that if XP is kicking in how can I stop it........Answer is so easy I could kick my self. Simply turn off "Windows file protection"..If you don't know how...Get a hold of WinXP Manager...go to customization.........tick the box "Turn of Windows File Protection. Reinstall your mouse driver Works like a charm. NOTE: If you are going to install anything new turn it back on as a precaution and when finished reinstall your mouse driver again and turn it off after. Kensington: I tried to install a new Sounblaster Audigy and it just kept crashing. The reason was a file called KMW.....Dll....came up on the XP error message "This program had to Close" thing we all hate seeing........I uninstalled my Kensington Mouse, cleaned my registry and my SB drivers installed without a hitch. In fact everytime I check my registry for faults the Kensington Driver comes up as a high priority error.....saying it is "set to delete"....so if you use a registry cleaner make sure you unclick anything that relates to your mouse driver or start up......cos if you delete them you are back to square one with acceleration and your driver probebly wont be there anymore.......This is my personal experience and I have had long conversations with Kensington who say there is no conflict with XP..........well I have had 3 years of hell that say there is a conflict but it's Windows to blame not Kensington. Hope this helps all you crazy gamers;) Little edit here........If you have 2 hard drives install WinXP manager on both drives and turn off WFP on both...didn't work for me until I did.
