It actually also seems to fix the problems in World of Warcraft even thought it's not listed as one of the games it applies to.
Unfortunately it didn't work for Dark Age of Camelot. I tried the update and the manual registry entry.

I think they are loosing a big part of the audience - gamers and addicted gamers =) Ruined win7, add metroint for fingers, still not using container technology, cut the mouse polling rate (it means there is nobody who can test it before rtm (a lot of managers in corporation=) - smartest decisions. Good for mac.

What do you mean did I add it to the registry? I downloaded Mouse Movement Recorder and run the Programme!
Did you add the Mouse Movement Recorder exe to the registry?
