Procsurec Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I hope someone can help me with this. I ran a really old program on Vista from windows 3.11 called control.exe and adjusted mouse settings. I didn't think it would actually work, but I increased the cursor flash speed, the double click speed, and somehow removed mouse acceleration. I don't mind the cursor speed and double click being changed, but the mouse accel I want back but the program won't change it back. I can't find an option in Vista either, so it must have changed a registry setting? How do I fix my accel? Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 System Restore to a time before you did this?Do you have a full system backup? If you don't can I strongly suggest that you make one without delay - and keep it up to date.Before making changes to any of my computers I ensure that I have made a new backup and also a System Restore in case anything goes wrong - which it may well do. I don't know how reliable System Restore is in Vista but, in XP, it shouldn't be depended on as the only fail safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Depending on what mouse you use, you may be able to download and install appropriate mouseware that will let you adjust your mouse/cursor settings. E.g. the latest software for Microsoft mouse can be downloaded here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procsurec Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Restore disabled and no complete backups. I just keep important files on a seperate hard drive.I never needed drivers for my mouse, but they do exist, so I will give them a shot!
