USB

This is a discussion about USB in the Windows Hardware category; I am having problems with USB mice and w2k. Whenever i plug in my mouse into USB hub it starts lagging - the cursor doesn't move in sync with the mouse. Whenever i connect the same mouse (through adapter) to ps2 port - everything works fine.

I am having problems with USB mice and w2k.
Whenever i plug in my mouse into USB hub it starts "lagging" - the cursor doesn't move in sync with the mouse. Whenever i connect the same mouse (through adapter) to ps2 port - everything works fine. I just got one of the Razer Boomslang mice and thir current drivers are USB only for w2k, so i am kinda desperate ... (God this mouse is great for FPS games).
Any suggestions (i checked on Intel's website - nothing). Does anyone have similar problem ?

Sounds like my exact same problem. Have my Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer connected via USB, and the pointer "lags" as you mention. Tried connecting directly directly to the PC USB and through my Natural Keyboard Pro "hub"... both experience this.
 
Anyone know what the hell is going on? I've tried Windows Update, MS Knowledge Base, etc... and I don't find using a PS/2 adapter a reasonable solution. =)
 
Thanks,

I am not having this problem. The only thing that sounds different is that I installed the Intellipoint 3.1 update from MS. *perhaps* that *might* help?

Actually, I tried up[censored] to 3.1a yesterday... but the lagging seems to continue. I had this problem in Professional as well, but at some point I changed my configuration and it went away.
 
I think I may have defined the CPU as "Standard PC", instead of MPS, and it started working. Then I went back to MPS and it continued to work. I'll give that a try and keep you all posted.

Try going to Device Manager and click on Mice and other pointing devices then Advanced Settings and then Sample Rate to 100 and Input Buffer length to 100 and Fast Initalization check (on). Hope this helps but not sure.
