You cannot use my old tool for this purpose, because it will only tell you about the file on disk, not the image in memory.
Even if cursor acceleration has been patched in memory, the file itself will not be altered.

Raskoln1kov, I don't think you made any mistakes, but it is not necessary to apply both patches (new & old) if at least one of them works. It won't hurt either, though.

Hello!

I can't get rid of cursor-acceleration with either of Aion's fixes (anymore...).
The "old" program was working just fine until I recently had to reformat my harddrive.
I am using Win XP prof. SP2 german version (like I did before...), but the old tool doesn't seem to work properly: After installing the fix and rebooting, it worked, I didn't feel any acceleration and any curves I tried drawing in Paint were perfectly smooth. But after rebooting it seemed to have reverted back to the original behaviour, i.e. acceleration and jagged curves in Paint, even though the fix still said "acceleration is disabled".
Here is what I tried so far to fix that problem:
 - Installing/deinstalling the old fix various times. Disables acceleration sometimes, but never after rebooting...
 - Doing so in safe mode
 - Deleting DLLCache and DriverCache folders
 - Thinking my problem was caused by Windows File Protection, I tried this to circumvent WFP: http://www.windowsnetwork...-File-Protection-SP2.html
I have no idea if it worked/works, didn't solve the problem however.
 - Using Aion's new fix: This doesn't seem to do anything for me as far as I can tell. If I run it via cmd, some error appears, telling me some device connected to the system is not functioning properly. I read that this was expected behaviour, but acceleration is still present afterwards. In safe mode, running it via cmd results in an error telling me that some service can't be run in safe mode.
Even though, acceleration still present after rebooting.
 - Using another mouse: Deathadder, Krait, with drivers, without: no success
 - Literally screaming at my computer in frustration

Something weird I noticed: If I unplug my mouse, and plug it into another USB-slot I haven't used before, acceleration is gone(until I reboot...). However, I am running out of slots that I haven't used...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I feel my computer is virtually useless with acceleration Sad

/edit: I also just noticed that mouseaccel is disabled at the login-screen of winxp. Is it possible to prevent windows from screwing the mousesettings over when logging in?

ap3x, as far as you described the problem, both tools seem to work properly. In this case, I cannot give further advice.

Hi aion, I followed the installation instructions for vista x64. I applied deadlock and restarted windows. When windows loaded my cursor wouldn't move indicating acceleration, after a brief moment I was able to move my cursor. Will this fix only work with test-signing enabled? I don't like "test mode" appearing in each corner of my desktop. When I disabled test-signing and restarted my computer my cursor wouldn't move indicating acceleration. After using my keyboard to navigate to the mouse propertise and unchecking "Enhance Mouse Precision" I was able to move my mouse again but I'm assuming acceleration was still there. I will have to enable test-signing until I find a different solution for vista 64.

Hello, reasoN.

Windows Vista "x64" will prohibit the execution of this driver unless test signing is enabled or Code Integrity is disabled.

Microsoft's official reasoning behind this policy is security & safety improvement.
Because all kernel-mode code must conform with Microsoft's guidelines in order to run, the possibility of a malicious or misbehaving driver is decreased.
Windows Cursor Acceleration Fix, however, intentionally modifies one of Windows' own kernel-mode components, so it may be regarded as malicious, depending on viewpoint (i.e., Microsoft's).

On the other hand, this policy does also serve Digital Restrictions Management purposes.
Because all kernel-mode code must have been "blessed" by Microsoft in order to run, the integrity of Windows' low-level DRM mechanisms can be ensured (to a certain degree).
If you enable test signing, disable Code Integrity or attach a kernel-mode debugger, Windows will be set to an untrusted state and so-called "premium content" cannot be played.
In fact, no user - not even administrators or the SYSTEM account - can debug, dump (etc.) such Protected Processes.
Effectively, you, the user, have lost control over this part of the operating system and such applications.
Beginning with Vista, DRM did not only enter the kernel, but went even deeper, the boot loader.

If you want to learn more about Code Integrity, you can read this blog entry and this assessment paper.

I don't understand why any sane user would voluntarily restrict their digital freedom by installing Windows Vista.

Aion,

I gotta agree, I am not the most sane person. :silly: I chose to run vista x64 for a few reasons. First, since vista has been out on the market for a while now, I thought it would be a good time to make a transition to the most recent operating system. Second, the superficial part of me enjoys the "eye-candy" and other aesthetic features vista offers. Third, vista will inevitably gain dominance as the evolution of operating systems has proven.

When deadlock is applied, do it's effects only last on the first windows restart? When I restarted windows for the second time (with test-signing still enabled), I was able to move the cursor as soon as it was visible (no freeze what so ever). I don't know how to test if acceleration is on unless I keep applying deadlock.

I gotta add, when I first installed vista x64 I thought acceleration was gone. In XP, acceleration is very apparant, not so with vista. I play counter-strike source were acceleration is easily noticed in windows xp, but in vista I can't be so certain. Your wcafix gives me a peace of mind, it's like a placebo.

Quote
C:\>install.cmd
System error 31 has occurred.

A device attached to the system is not functioning.
This is on a Vista 64-bit in which driver signature enforcement is successfully disabled.
This is expected behaviour.
The driver intentionally fails the initialization routine in order to enforce its immediate unload.
Okay, I guess it is hard to suppress such error messages.

Was it hard to digitally test-sign the driver so that it works in test-signing mode? The "Digital Signatures for Kernel Modules on Systems Running Windows Vista" guide is very poorly constructed and forces me to read it all, but I haven't found time for it yet.

I get this same error so like how do i install the mouse fix then ! i dont understand  >_<

i have a problem while in gameplay, my cursor/crosshair is jerky and really hard to aim.

I think it's more an issue of Microsoft can do no right.  I've been running vista x64 for 6 months now.  I have also been running it in this "test mode" to disable the accel for 3 months. 

Not once, have I run into any problems playing media on this pc or on my 360.  (I have a lot of videos/music that I play every day, none of which is DRM laced)

So I have no clue what all the fuss is about. 

IMO, I find it scary that anyone would purchase any DRM laced media to begin with, which might be where this Vista/DRM fussing comes from.  Or perhaps it's a programming complaint.

Anyhow, just liked to report that this fix works perfectly.  Thanks for the work!

I find it annoying to have people with an apparent lack of reading comprehension skills polluting my thread with their ignorant replies.

Nice work aion! This one worked juust fine with my xp sp2, I did not even reboot my computer. I just re-enabled acceleration with anirs (aions?) accelfix.exe then reboot and just logged normally in, run your bat and voila no acceleration at all! Thank you aion!
But I have a few questions: What if you work an update, should I uninstall the older bat and then run the new one? So this one loads every time with windows, if I download windows updates or do offline defragmention, clear registry etc, the acceleration wont come back suddenly? I mean that I run offline defragmention, registry cleaning, windows updating or something like that wont disable your fix and bring acceleration back?
Like anir (aion again Cheesy?) said that windows updating can disable he's accelfix and it realy did once with my computer. I didn't notice that first but after playing some game's i noticed that something had went wrong and I found out acceleration had came back.
One more time, thanks for the fix and im sorry about my bad english. I have not been talking it for a long time so it's rusty Cheesy!
And hey, what about changing windows cursor speed from windows itself or with razer's own mousedrivers? If it seem's that acceleration has came back I have to just boot windows and the accelfix will load itself and the acceleration is gone?
