Mouse polling rate - USB port patch 500/1000hz

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

Windows XP/2k3 USB Mouserate Switcher


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

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Run this utility with admin rights (Safe Mode recommended) 2. Follow the instructions 3. Restart Windows

Click on "Patch" in order to continue.

This tool is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, so use at your own risk.

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. Create a backup of your usbport.sys file in use which is located in the directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers , keep this backup. Just in case something should go wrong and you can then rollback to the previously working usbport.sys file. Now 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. Once you have overwritten the usbport.sys file, reboot your os normally to see if everything works properly. Then reboot your os in safe mode with administrator privileges and follow the instructions given at Applying the patch using winxp sp2. After you've done this succesfully, use mouserate.exe to verify that your mouse is working at the set rate/hz.
