In some instances, after installing Service Pack 3, the USB Poll Rate reverts back to 125hz. Unfortunately the usual USB Mouserate fixer program doesn't work with SP3.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, I found a very nice fix for it!

This patches the usbport.sys from "c:\windows\system32\drivers\" to poll from 125 Hz to 500 Hz.

1) Use mouserate.exe to check your current rate.

2) Use patch_vol_en.exe to patch the rate to 500hz.

3) You must restart your machine for the patch to apply.

There is also a manual method which can be used.

1) Repace "usbport.sys" from "c:\windows\system32\drivers\"
(ensure you make a backup first)

2) Open usbmrs11.exe

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

Yes it does work after the "usbport.sys" is replaced (i've attached it)

I've tried this twice, and it doesn't work. mouse rate is still at 125.
