I got bored one day and decided to fire up some old school Diablo II. Well in the game i have some ridiculous mouse lag, which i decided was because of Vsync being forced on. No big deal right? just turn it off in video card drivers (which i thought i had off globally anyways)
Didn't work.
Alright; so i read a little about it and it seems Vista/7 forces Vsync on in any application that doesn't call for it specifically to be off, so i downloaded ATi tray tools which supposedly has a fix for forcing Vsync off in vista/7
Didn't work.
I found out ATi tray tools vista fix only works for applications running D3d 8.0 or newer, doesn't work for old school applications. So after more research i thought i finally got the answer because RivaTuner has an add on tool thing thats called D3d override which supposedly would fix it.
Didn't work.
More research passed, and it seems that Desktop Composition could be a root cause of it due to some technical stuff, so i tried turning that off.
Didnt't work.
Alright so if anyone has a quick answer to fixing this, that would be sweet. Or maybe if someone could like improvise something else that would be awesome too. Another thing i was looking at is setting the render ahead frames to 0, but i bet u guys can guess how that turned out.

oh yea, running in windowed mode allows my fps to soar and the mouse lag is completly fixed, but....its windowed mode
