    I have my p-7811fx and I'm wanting to use it for mobile gaming/lans but I need to have mouse acceleration off for FPS games. I have turned off the a acceleration box in the mouse settings but it is still very much on in fps games. Anyone know how to fix this?

    on my desktop for xp I use cplmousefix and it disables mouse acceleration but it doesnt work for vista.

    try checking the games, should be options in them to modify the mouse acceleration and try getting the mouse drivers for your mouse, I did this second I installed a laser/wireless mouse yesterday which DPI was extremely high making it very sensitive, the software it came with let me tone it down, windows however wouldn't without the software.
