chicken-'s (Chuck Sico's) mouse fix (acceleration fix) Version 2.

This fix was originally created to switch from Windows 98 to XP without having to change my mouse sensitivity in Unreal Tournament.  I have now created 3 different registry files for Windows XP/Vista/7.  Note: This works on 32 and 64 bit versions. CPL Fix and all the others may work for some, but I prefer this simple method that I've used since XP came out.

This fix also works as an acceleration fix, it will completely disable mouse acceleration giving you more freedom over your mouse in games and in general.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation Method #1: (Use #2 if you have customized double click times, hover times and things like that, this fix will set those things to default in vista.)

Step 1.  Go to START > RUN and type in regedit

Step 2.  In regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\

Step 3.  If you want to backup your own settings, right click on the Mouse folder and click Export, save it somewhere you will remember.

Step 4.  Right click on the Mouse folder and click delete.

Step 5.  Double click the .reg file for your windows (inside this zip) and click Yes on the box that pops up. (WindowsXP.reg WindowsVista.reg Windows7.reg whichever you are running)

Step 6. REBOOT, the changes won't work until you reboot!!!!

P.S. This fix is not only for Unreal Tournament but if you are play Unreal Tournament make sure Direct Input is checked and Mouse Smoothing is unchecked in the Input tab in preferences.

Installation Method #2: (Manual)

Step 1.  Go to START > RUN and type in regedit

Step 2.  In regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse

Step 3.  If you want to backup your own settings, right click on the Mouse folder and click Export, save it somewhere you will remember.

Step 4. Make these settings match what I have listed.  (The MouseSensitivity is recommended default 10 which is 1:1 with your mouse)
"MouseSensitivity"="0"
"MouseSpeed"="0"
"MouseThreshold1"="0"
"MouseThreshold2"="0"

Step 5. DELETE these settings from the Mouse folder in the registry.
"SmoothMouseXCurve"
"SmoothMouseYCurve"

Step 6. REBOOT, the changes won't work until you reboot!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------

If you don't like the results, just follow the same steps except use the file you exported as a backup instead, that will bring you back to your settings.  Reboot and you're back to normal.
