How to Change Your Mouse Speed

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Dave Andrews and today I'm going to show you how to change your mouse speed. Let's go to our computer and we want to open up control panel. In Vista, just click on the Start button on your search type in 'control panel'. And then here it appears the program you can launch. Now in the classic view, we want to find the item that's for our mouse. Just double click on that and open it up. Now you have the option in this mouse screen here to change the speed with which your mouse moves and the way you do that is by going to the pointer options tab and you can have this little dragger right here. Let's say I want to really increase the speed of my mouse pointer, we'll pull it down to fast. Now after I've got it set to what I'd like, all I have to do is click on OK down at the bottom. Now as I move my finger here on my mouse pad, my mouse is really just screaming along. If I wanted it to go extremely slow, I'll change my pointer speed down to the slowest setting and apply that. Now as I move my finger, my mouse is barely even moving while I struggle to move that mouse pointer. But it's that easy to move your mouse or change your mouse speed. My name is Dave Andrews and I've just showed you how to change your mouse's speed."
