You need to turn off windows mouse accelleration.... I'm pretty sure that's what the problem is. Go to control panel and shut off the acceleration for your mouse devices.

Thanks for the post Fozzy. I actually saw that recommendation that you posted on another thread and I raced home from work thinking this HAS to be the answer... Unfortunately, I turned the mouse pointer speed to the slowest and even though my mouse is unbearable to use in windows, the problem still exists. Is there somewhere else where there is a mouse acceleration setting that I need to change (outside of making the pointer speed the slowest)? I am using a wireless logitech keyboard and mouse, but I did not install the logitech software, that wouldn't cause this, would it?

MS calls acceleration by "Enhance pointer precision" in the mouse Pointer Options for the control panel in XP. Make sure the box is NOT checked.
Decreasing the speed does not change the mouse acceleration, just the speed. The best place for speed is usually at the halfway point, as this setting does not modify the signal mouse data (ie: does not multiple or divide).
OT [rant] Stupid MS marketing. Checking that box does the opposite of what it's called, by changing the precision depending on how fast the mouse is moved. Constantly changing does not equal "enhanced"; and results in a lower accuracy.

I am glad to know I don't need to keep my mouse pointer speed all the way at the slowest level. I do have the pointer precision box unchecked.
Does anyone know if garage door sensors work on infrared? I will do a test later tonight to make sure that is not the problem. Outside of that causing it, I am sorta at a point where I am out of ideas... Bummer.

I've been working on other things and to be honest, I haven't been too fired up and enthused about getting frustrated again with this gun. I do want to see it work though.
I too will check for IR sources as being part of my problem, it makes sense to check and make sure, but...
I don't think it's the problem in my case, I think it's the bad EMS drivers (as I mentioned I have to install Smog's this weekend and play with things). I say I don't think so because I have a Guncon 4 gun which is also an IR gun and it works perfect. I'd think if I had an IR source that is causing the problem then the Guncon 4 would also have issues and it doesn't.
Can you take the gun and LEDs to another place in your house and test it out there? That could also help eliminate any possible room condition issues.
