I formated my computer and reinstalled most apps. The weird thing is, when i'm in Photoshop or Dreamweaver (the only ones I found that had this problem) the mouse speed changes to a lower speed. This happens only when the app is active. I can click on the taskbar (to make the app inactive) whith brings the mouse at it's regular speed. I don't feel like reinstalling any programs since i'm in the process to installing..(lame excuse I know) Has anybody else had this problem?

Night, SWAG, sounds like a memory issue to me. Mouse speed is determined by how quickly memory can be read. If something's running in the background and consuming memory, the mouse commands get to que. See if you can get rid of something in add/delete. HTH. Ed in Texas.

A few programs also have options to change mouse speed on a custom basis. I don't think Dreamweaver is one of them, though.
