Mouse polling speed in vista

[winderic]

I have install windows vista on my computer and i want to know the mouse polling rates in vista. I am using Logitech mouse and want to increase or Change Mouse Polling Rate. Any help will be extremely appreciated.

To change mouse polling rate in vista 64bit use the following command :

takeown /f "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\usbport.sys"
cacls "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\usbport.sys" /G username:F

By default, the USB polling rate is set at 125hz. The polling rate (or report rate) determines how often the mouse sends information to your computer. If you have a low end CPU your mouse's polling rate may effect your CPU. Which means the mouse cursor can only be updated every 8 milliseconds. But it is possible to increase the USB polling rate via software or hardware.

USB Mouserate Switcher 1.1 : USB Mouserate Switcher will allow you to enforce a mouse polling rate of 250 Hz (4 ms), 500 Hz (2 ms) or 1000 Hz (1 ms) and let you restore Windows' original "usbport.sys" (8 ms) if needed.

You first need to open a command prompt. You can do this by clicking the Start menu, choosing Run, entering "cmd" and pressing Enter. Then you need to type "takeown /f C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\usbport.sys" and press Enter, then type "cacls C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\usbport.sys /G Administrator:F" and press Enter. This will make you the owner of usbport.sys and give you full access rights to it for Mouse polling.
