Hello,
i've wrote this game thing with a moving tiled background, some sort of airplane, who can shoot bombs and lasers, and when you move it the motors lighten. Untill know most of the animations is done by seperated pictures, but i'll change that. enyway, my problem is that my mouse (i started using directinput, i thought it might work faster this way) moves to slow, it has some sort of delay, not much, but enough to irritate me, i've read about slow games in the forum and tried to solve by some given solutions but untill now it doesn't seem to help at all, i'm using windowed mode, with some timers(as you can see)
is there anybody who wants to help me?

thanx

Without having a thorough look at your code, my first remark is don't use timers. Do a search on the forum for "Main Loop". That will probably get you a bit of a speed up.

Clarity: Timers cycle at 55ms between activations so set the Timer to 1 and watch it only run once every 55ms(unless your on XP where it becomes 10ms)

Yep,
i figured out that is would be better to use a main loop, but the actua reason why i didn't manage to get a good mouse speed is because i drew my tiled background within the "main loop-timer", which isn't necesairy.
thanx for helping me out

(excuse for my bad englisch did my best)

bye
