when i play quake 3 online or offline in win xp, my mouse seems really off aim, laagy and choppy moving. I did follow what one quake 3 forum (quake3world.com) say to do is to turn off mouse accel and set your windows mouse setting and like and love it before you install Q3A. This gave a better mouse movement then the first couple of times that i installed Xp but not better than Win 98 or ME mouse movements so post back soon if you have answer.

its not dirt thats causing it. its obviously a software issue and NOT my mouse.
 
1. im using the default WinXP PS/2 Mouse drivers. its not a special mouse its just a basic 2 button microsoft mouse.

2. i have a GeForce 4 MX420 gfx card so its not like slow gfx card like a intergraded gfx card (ex-Intel 810e giving tops 15fps in Q3)would be. Anyway the GF4 has done quite well with Q3 and other games but under Win98se and ME. XP has always acted funny with me and my games so I probally end up switching back to 98se for total compatablity.

1. your mouse problem...
a) you might wanna try the XP mouse fix... just run the reg file i attached (its zipped) and reboot
b) at the console (in-game) try typing /in_mouse -1 and press enter - then type in /in_restart and enter. that helps a bit.

2. graphics...
a) get the latest graphics drivers from nvidia.com
b) ive had 76fps (my designated cap) at 640x480 on an intel810e onboard graphics card with p3 733mhz so they're not that crap m8y :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
