>find this shit sitting in my closet >plug it in because

Let me guess. Windows 10?

No. 7. It feels like I have forced acceleration on, even though it's unchecked in windows.

What the fuck is going on? I unplugged my mouse and put it in another port, and it fixed it for a few seconds before going back to the forced acceleration it had before.

What's on the external hard drive, OP?
>can't google "turn off mouse acceleration"
>doesn't realize problem likely has nothing to do with the external HDD

>>56118631
Mouse acceleration is already off in windows. I have had it off for as long as I have owned this PC. This has everything to do with the external HDD.
It's too much of a coincidence that I would notice it at the very moment I plugged it in.

It's the ghost of captain crunch

>>56118662
Maybe re-install the drivers?
>This has everything to do with the external HDD.
The only way is if it used all of the bandwidth for your USB ports, fucked your drivers, or, you let something auto-run.
There is usually some kind of manual configuration you can do if you mess with your drivers also, could have to do it that way.
Why do people always think "I did X this MUST be the reason it fucked up!"?
Get out, OP.

nah, this is typical faggot behavior, check the settings again, reset that shit up. Turn it off and on and reboot.
Good luck on your future anal exploration adventures

The Zowie FK does not have drivers. I cannot reinstall the drivers.
If you're referring to reinstalling the HDD drivers, why the fuck would reinstalling the drivers fix a mouse problem?
Why would a HDD even fuck with a mouse in the first place?

>reset that shit
What is there to reset?
>Turn it off and on and reboot.
I unplugged the mouse and rebooted, unplugged the HDD and rebooted, what else is there to do?

>>56118544
What rpm is that drive? If it's a slow one, there's your problem.

Google says 5400. Could that even affect the mouse? The problem persists after I've unplugged it and uninstalled all the related drivers.

What the fuck are you saying OP?

>>56118850
The system in general seems slow too? Or no?

>>56118872
The HDD drivers. My mistake.

>>56118879
The system is running fine. I haven't run a stress test, but the only real problem is the mouse acceleration.

have you tried unplugging the hdd and rebooting?

wd is trash. i always buy toshiba harddrives.

wd harddrives always break and shit.

So far what I've tried:
>unplugged the HDD, rebooted
>unplugged the HDD, deleted the associated drivers, rebooted
>checked/unchecked mouse acceleration via windows
>unplugged the mouse, rebooted
>unplugged the mouse, and uninstalled the generic plug-n-play mouse driver, rebooted
>registry edits to manually remove mouse acceleration, rebooted
>several premade registry edits that do the exact same thing I manually did, rebooted

At this point I'm convinced it's in my head, but there still exists the concerning fact that enabling mouse acceleration in the windows panel actually doesn't affect my mouse movements at all.

That, and I'm still misclicking on shit despite all these fix attempts, but that could be placebo and entirely my fault.

Any games I open that have a "raw input" option feel perfectly normal, but windows itself still feels accelerated.

wd hdd is literal shit

toshiba is trash, I alwayd buy seagatr

i have a 1 tb toshiba harddrive and thing has lasted for 5 years and i dropped it on the ground dozens of times

What was in the drive?

>>56119571
Gay porn because OP is a fag.

It could be that the mouse is dying. If you didn't have custom settings, try using the mouse on another win 7 machine and see if the problem persists. If so, the mouse is dying
