Low mouse sensitivity with Steam games

As of recently, my mouse seams to have lost sensitivity in games from the steam client; games like Counterstrike and Bioshock. It seems to have started when I installed Bioshock (from Steam). I am using the Razer Deathadder.

Edit: The thing is, it's not that I've had low sensitivity to begin with, it's that I've lost sensitivity that I normally had and have to turn it up from what it it normally set at (I used to play at 5.5 and now I have to play at 12.5).

I've tried:

-Cleaning the mouse
-Changing mice
-Reinstalling the Steam client and games
-Disabling video recording programs
-Reinstalled mouse drivers
-Un/installed CPL mouse fix (disables Windows mouse acceleration)

My latest troubleshoot is downloading the latest Directx as it seems some sort of Direct patch or update was installed along with Bioshock, but I haven't tested it.

What mouse are you using?

Have you gone into the concole when in Counter-Strike by pressing the ~ key, then type Sensitivity "the number you want"
If that Sensitivity in-game is already up, try turning up your Sensitivity in Windows.

if you are using a logitech mouse (for example) and have SetPoint installed. check that, and set it either to game detection (think there is an option that will allow the game to set the mouse's speed) or turn up the sensivity there. its the first thing I'm thinking of reading your problem, hope it helps :)

SetPoint is within the Driver CD right? I'll install it now.

I think I just got thread jacked........ o,o

As an update, I'm using the Razer Deathadder and I tried my old Diamondback with the same results (I'm not rolling in money; my Diamondback like to disconnect randomly on me).

Edit: Please view first post again for updates.
