Mouse Lag in Games. Help ASAP

[BoomAM]

hi,
i recently installed Win2K and i have noticed that some of my games have very laggy mouse movement. Why is this? and how do i fix it?

i have an MS Intellimouse Optical and have tryed using both versions 3.1a and 4.01 to fix the problem.

Here are the games that have the problem
Quake 3
Quake 3 : Team Arena
Jedi Knights 2
Serious Sam : The Second Encounter

havnt tryed elite force yet. medal of honor works, yet its baced on the same engine as 3 of the the above games.

thanx in advance

Have you tried swtiching from direct 3d to opengl and vice-versa?

The Quake 3 engine uses OpenGL exclusively.

clicknext, cubic zerconia has got a slight point SeriousSam can do both modes. But in another way, you have a point, q3 baced games are exclusivly OpenGL baced. guess he should have been more specific. im not too concerned bout SS2, just the Quake3 Baced games. As i use them alot. (until i got GTA3 that is, now i use them less. LOL)

Good point, I didn't think about that at all.

I see your point though. In Half-Life I get crazy mouse lag with D3D.

Get Rivatuner and under the Vsync tabs for OpenGL and DirectX, make sure your Prerender Limit is 3 or less. I get mouse lag if I set that much higher.
