Mouse Movement in Vista

[LenBum]

Is there a tweak that I can use to get my mouse movement faster? I already
have it set to fastest and it just isn't fast enough. Having tendonitis in
my wrist limits the movement so I'd like to move as little as possible. I
guess upgrading to a 19" screen didn't help. Thanks

Hello LenBum,

I am sorry that I do not know of a tweak to increase the mouse speed faster
than what you can achieve through the settings in the Mouse Pointers dialog,
but you might consider using the keyboard as a way of controlling the mouse
(and thus reducing the amount of movement you have to make). Here is a link
to a Help and Support topic that explains how to control the mouse with the
keyboard:

Using keyboard shortcuts is another way to reduce the amount of mouse
movement:

Finally, there are a lot of companies that offer alternative input devices,
software, etc.:

I hope that you find one or all of these resources helpful to you.

If you have Aero setup and you have a slow video card your mouse will move
EXTREMELY slow. Try it without Aero running.
