Yes, or the Earth will be over-run with them. ;-)

I often use a wireless mouse which I'm more and more convinced is a
large cockroach.

But mine is silver, not brown... :-P

Are there already robot cockroaches?

Back to topic: is the program perhaps ps2rate? It was meant to adjust
the speed rate, and restricted to PS/2 mice, though.

Does yours eat batteries too? I change mine out about once/week.

It's at one place I work, and the secretary told me that they've never
needed to change batteries!
I'll find out more about this wonderful device ...

Mine gets on the average 14 hours use per day. It may be "other related" as
well. The batteries in my camera lose their juice pretty quickly around
here...alot of "other world" activity.

I see - this indicates to me that this particular sec does bugger all
work. :-)

You can change your mouse settings via the Control Panel

Yes and no. this program helps you adjust the refresh rate of the
mouse. something you can't do in the control panel (unless the mouse
driver already supports it)

PS2rate
PS/2 Plus It only lasts for the current windows session, so you have to
re-run the program (ps2rate.exe) every time you reboot. - This WILL
affect your windows mouse cursor, AND every game you run out of windows
(unless that game itself does something funky to the mouse). - The best
way to run the program for the first time is probably: 1. Open an MSDOS
prompt. 2. Change to the directory where you put ps2rate.exe. 3. Make
sure the file "ps2rate.vxd" is there too. 3. Type "ps2rate 200" to set
your ps/2 mouse to 200hz. 4. Make sure it says it was successful. If
not, make sure you actually have a ps/2-style mouse. 5. Still no luck?
Try "ps2rate 100" for 100hz. Or 80hz, or 60hz. 6. If it worked (and it
will tell you if it did), you mouse will be happy. 7. If you want this
to run automatically upon windows startup, you can make a shortcut to
the program and put it in Start->Programs->StartUp. Make sure you
include a "200" (no quotes) on the Target line in your Shortcut
Properties, after "ps2rate.exe". If it doesn't work, crashes your
machine, or gives you indigestion, don't blame me. I didn't write the
thing. ;-) And yes, it's faster than a default USB mouse (200hz,
compared to 125hz). But at that point the performance feels pretty much
the same anyway, at least to me. Works in Win95, works in Win98. -
Doesn't work in WinNT.
