this problem has plagued me for a couple years now.. I've even posted here before. Searching the net brings up useless or no answers at all.

I'm on windows XP (now SP2), and my mouse will not work in games such as quake 2, ut99, deus x. The buttons on the mouse work ingame (ie i can fire in quake2) but mouselook does not work.

I HAVE enabled mouselook
I've tried logitech's drivers as well as the winxp default driver for my MX310
I've tried windows' compatability modes
I've tried enabling "USB Legacy support" in the bios , praying that work work.

I even tried an old ball-mouse that used to work in said games, now it doesn't! So I'm guessing it must have been some little windows update from who knows when. The mouse used to work on the same rig ive used for years, then one day i tried to play some of these games and it didn't work anymore. Yes, it stopped working before i updatd to Sp2.

Can anyone at all help me troubleshoot this curse?

I will paypal someone $10 if they can help me fix this !
 
I'd use a USB -> PS2 adapter.
then uninstall Logitech software, just use generic mouse drivers.
 
Sorry I should've mentioned , I already tried that. Also the ball=mouse I used was a ps/2 mouse.
 
Does anyone else with winXP sp2 have any problems using the mouse in Quake II, UT99, Deus X, or quake 1?
 
I once had a problem with Sim City 3000 on W98, the mouse was really hard to see. Turns out the mouse trails in windows played havoc in game.

Don't know if that helps at all. Probably not!
 
hehe no but thanks anyway.

It's really weird. I can see the cursor, say on the UT99 "desktop" screen, but it is stuck in the middle of the screen and won't move.
