choppy mouse in windows 98.

[SonicIce]

the cursor seems to move alot smoother in windows xp than in 98, on the same machine. like the mouse refresh rate is lower in 98. is there a tweak to increase the mouse refresh rate in 98?

More like choppy OS on your mouse.

Why would you bother with an old O/S like that?

USB?

I used to use a program calles ps2rate for that back in the day when I used Windows 98 (assuming you're using a PS/2 mouse)...worked really well. But I have to echo the question "why are you bothering with Windows 98 these days?"

please, this isn't a thread about why would I use windows 98. its for my class we are learning about windows 98 (many people still use it). and i want to mess with my old computer.

thank you synthdude, i'll try that out.

Increase the PS/2 mouse rate with ps2rate like Synth said. You can also try bumping your display's refresh rate.
