   Thanks for the suggestion, Ted. The bigger issue is this: the wireless   
   mouse's receiver plugs into the USB port. A corded mouse also plugs into   
   the same USB port. Why can I adjust the motion when the corded mouse is   
   used, but not the wireless one? As I see it, the RF link is a substitute   
   for the cord, so with either mouse type the signal at the USB port   
   should be identical. With either mouse, on-screen movement of the   
   pointer is identical, except too slow (and non-adjustable) with the   
   wireless mouse. In other words, how does XP know that the signals it's   
   seeing at the USB port are coming from one mouse type or the other?
