when playing black&white (for those who don't know, its 99.999999% mouse reliant)
and right-clicking on the creature to stroke/slap it, the mouse seems to slow down, and then go about in big leaps and jumps as if its "queueing" the movement, and then moving it really fast across the screen. Result is its almost impossible to reward my creature :(

OS:windows xp pro sp2
mouse:mx500 (generic windows drivers)

I did a fresh format on this system a while ago and before i had black and white installed, but not SP2, and the mouse worked fine. there have been no hardware changes since reformat. if anyone knows about issues of this kind with mice ingames? I've asked on blackandwhite forums for help too, up to now they just say move the mouse slowly and accept it
