IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry.
Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if
a problem occurs. For information on how to do this, view the "Restoring
the Registry" online Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry
Key" online Help topic in Regedt32.exe.
SUMMARY
When you use some applications in Windows Terminal Server, the mouse may
jump or not move in a controlled fashion. This behavior has been observed
in computer-aided design (CAD) programs, but may occur anywhere that
precision mouse control is necessary.
MORE INFORMATION
By default, the Terminal Server client sends mouse strokes to the Terminal
Server at an interval of 100 ms. The performance of the mouse can be
improved by lowering this setting through the registry. Please note that
these are client entries.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor
can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And
Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete
Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in
Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it.
If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair
Disk (ERD).
- On the Terminal Server client computer, open the registry and go to the
following key:
HKEY_CURENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client
- Select Terminal Server Client.
- Create a new DWORD value.
- Name the new DWORD value: Min Send Interval
- Set the value to: 10.
You may want to adjust the value as needed for your particular network,
weighing the additional network traffic against the enhanced mouse
performance.
