ok here it goes,
i just bought a logitech pilot (the new model @ http://www.logitech.com/cf/products/productoverview.cfm/78
no..i put it in the usb port uninstalled and then installed the drivers (9.0)
every so often it hangs so i think what the heck, ill try the ps2 port.
and whattya know it works and works without hanging the whole comp.
the prob is that even though i put the mousedrivers on 200hz, when i check with the ps2 rate checker it says im only @ 153hz (u can find it @ www.bluesnews.com --> mouse resources )
then i try to install ps2rateplus (@ tweakfiles.com) and no matter what i do i wont get it to work it just says that some vxd/dll has to be in the same map that the .exe is in (which it, of course, is)
 
so
how do i make a THOROUG uninstall of the logidrivers and how the **** can i put it up to 200 hz ?
 
os -> win2k
logi 9.0 drivers
sp1
hmm cant think of anything else that should matter.
thx in advance

Well, it sounds like it could be the drivers, since it may be a native USB device. However, 200Hz isn't such a great option, as it just eats up more CPU cycles.

200hz is great
yes i think its the drivers too..since when i uninstall them (also remove .dlls and stuff then dll wont remove - not the reg **** tho) it still detects my old mousesettings
btw . i have kickas machine so i dont care that much about those little more cycles more rate would mean

I do not believe that MouseRate program is th most accurate piece of software, also it only gives you an Average Ps2 Rate. I have a BX (Asus-P2B)chipsetM/B and a Via (asus P3v4x) With the BX I averaged about 190mhz, and with the Via I average about 180mhz. Same Mouse (Logitech Wheel), Same driver 7-8 and MS mouse driver).
The Chipset probably factors in, and I don't know how much you can trust that Mouse rate Sampling program. Either way, 150mhz is still going to be excellent over the default 40mhz.
 
Just my Opinion, Have a good day, and good luck.
