Manual Mouse Synchronization (continued)

Windows

Note: In order for the local and remote mice to synchronize, you must use the generic mouse driver supplied with the MS operating system. If you have a third party driver installed - such as one supplied by the mouse manufacturer - you must remove it.

Windows 2000:

1.Open the Mouse Properties dialog box (Control Panel Mouse Mouse Properties)

2.Click the Motion tab

3.Set the mouse speed to the middle position (6 units in from the left)

4.Set the mouse acceleration to None

Windows XP / Windows Server 2003:

1.Open the Mouse Properties dialog box (Control Panel Mouse)

2.Click the Pointer Options tab

3.Set the mouse speed to the middle position (6 units in from the left)

4.Disable Enhance Pointer Precision

Windows ME:

Set the mouse speed to the middle position and disable mouse acceleration. (Click the Advanced button to get the dialog box for this)

Windows NT / Windows 98 / Windows 95:

• Set the mouse speed to the slowest position.

Sun / Linux

Open a terminal session and issue the following command:

Sun: xset m 1

Linux: xset m 0

If you are having syncing problems after adjusting the mouse properties, try the following methods to help synchronize the local and remote mouse pointers:

Note: Mouse synchronization may take several seconds to take effect. Wait for 15 to 30 seconds to make sure it has had enough time to sync.

1.Open the Control Panel and position the mouse pointer over the black area at the bottom of the control panel. Hold it there for a few seconds and move it back into the remote screen. The mouse pointers should align.

2.Perform a Video Auto Sync by right-clicking over the Video Settings icon in the Control Panel; or, by opening up the Video Options screen and clicking on the Auto Sync button. In most cases, the local and remote mouse pointers will sync following the Video Auto Sync.

3.Invoke the Adjust Mouse hotkey command. This hotkey command defaults at F8, F7, F6. Hotkey functionality is only available when using the AP Windows Client.

4.Adjust the video settings to decrease the amount of information being transferred over the network. The less data that is being sent, the faster the response time. In particular, the Quality and Color Depth Control settings in the Video Settings screen (see page 21 for details) can help decrease the amount of data being transferred.

5.Go to the Display Settings in the remote computer/server and decrease the screen resolution and Color Quality settings.
