    Hello everyone,

    I recently purchased an HP Pavilion dv2928se and after a few days was so fed up with Vista that I downgraded to XP.

    After one full day of searching and tearing my hair out I finally managed to find and install drivers for everything but the quickplay function.

    However, the problem I have had both with Vista and XP is that my mouse lags whenever I play games no matter what the game. I had the same problem with Battlefield 2 on Vista and then after downgrading to XP with Warcraft III The Frozen Throne (fully updated and installed).

    I browsed the internet and found several possible solutions but none of them worked. Here are the ones I tried.

    I checked my hardware acceleration and it is at Full.

    I do not have enchanced pointer precision turned on.

    I have a logitech mouse/keyboard and I checked the option " Disable acceleration in games".

    Many posters suggested updating my video drivesr, and I did to the very latest up to date update.

    Last but not least I've been using a wireless (MX3200 logitech) mouse,but I also tried with the touchpad and a wired one so that's not the problem.

    I think that's everything here are my specs and the respective links...
