Laggy Keyboard&mouse In 3.0 Running Winxp

0dy

i had this problem back in 1.04 when i was running xp also, and i couldnt find a solution. to fix it, i started running windows 2000, problem solved. now, becuase of problems in windows 2k, ive switched back to xp. i still have the laggy keyboard mouse problem as before back in 1.04. the game visually doesnt lag, but the keyboard and mouse dont respond for a second or two in game.


i use the following:
logitech mx700 (cordless optical)
microsoft multimedia natural keyboard
radeon 9500 pro
amd xp 2400+


if anyone has any possible solutions, i would be very very happy.



EDIT:in game ive tried different resolutions from 800x600 to 1280x1024 and only 16bit color



EDIT2: THANK YOU VERY MUCY WEY!!!! the game isnt laggy, its a tad jumpy now, but i think the problem is solved. lol, my ping dropped from 220 to 70, thanks a bunch!

Tassadar had the same problem some days ago. The only solution he found was to lower the hl.exe priority in Windows. You may try this.

Are the devices in question USB based? If so, the computer could be turning the power to the devices down to save electricity, resulting in a brief ammount of lag when they power up.

i thought the problem may be usb related but its not, my mouse is usb, and cordless, but mouse and keyboard lag just as much. my keyboard is a regualr ps2 one, natural multimedia, but a regualr ps2, and it still lags.


ill look into the priority thing, thanks.
