Mouse polling rate - USB port patch 500/1000hz

This patch has been tested on winxp sp2 and sp3 using the G1 mouse. [usbmrs11.exe]

Applying the patch using winxp sp2;

Use the mouserateswitcher (usbmrs11.exe) to patch your usb port.

Step 1:

Boot your os in safe mode with administrator privileges.

Step 2:

Locate the usbmrs11.exe tool, execute it, to apply the patch click 'Patch' and do a 'Y' (YES) at the desired rate/hz, for instance 500/1000hz.

Step 3:

Reboot your os normally and use the mouserate.exe tool to verfify that your mouse is working at the set rate/hz.

Remark:

I would advise that you patch the USB port at 500hz, since it has proven that 1000hz does not always function flawlessly.


Applying the patch using winxp sp3;

Given that you have upgraded from sp2 to sp3, the usbmrs11.exe tool will return an error when patching your usbport.sys file. A workaround for this problem is simple.

Step 1:

Use your original winxp home/professional install CD and extract the usbport.sys file from the SP2.CAB file.

Step 2:

Create a backup of your usbport.sys file in use, which is located in the directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers and keep this backup. Just in case something should go wrong and you can then rollback to the previously working usbport.sys file.

Step 3:

Overwrite the usbport.sys file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers with the one you have extracted from the SP2.CAB file from your original winxp install CD.

Step 4:

Reboot your os normally to see if everything works properly.

Step 5:

Reboot your os in safe mode with administrator privileges and follow the instructions given at Applying the patch using winxp sp2.

Step 6:

Use mouserate.exe to verify that your mouse is working at the set rate/hz.
