now don't get you flame thrower's fired up to fast!:D I'm just saying like when I'm using my backup windows me computer and it jams on me a couple quick jerks of the mouse loosen the gears! i also makes some .gif images move faster:confused: like this one:
imagephp5gt.gif

try moving your mouse really fast and that image will speed up! but it seems to only work on computers with windows me:confused:
 
I think its a optical illusion, I was moving my mouse really fast around that .gif on windows xp and it did seem to spped up, and when i stoped slowed down, but then i did it on the other side of my screenand clsoed my left eye so i wouldn;t see it completly and it didn;t look like any speed difference.

yeah i noticed it but its not an optical illusion, i think Microsoft just patched it up on xp because its there but less noticeable, in ME its undeniable
 
I've noticed such things before... I think it's just a little bug/flux, or something like that. This time it didn't do anything...however, I'm on my 733MHz with Server 2003

As long as i dont see the mouse moving, even if it is i dont see a differnce.

that's what I'm thinkin, it only happens on older PC for some strange reason
 
I tend to agree with the optical illusion statement. Try moving the mouse on the far right hand side of the screen, out of sight of normal viewing. I'm using XP, but I seriously doubt that moving the mouse could speed up images or fix stuck backups.
 
Meh, there are more chances it slows it down than it speed it up...
I tried doing it and it didn't work. BTW, do you have WINDOWS XP professional ore home edition?
