Troubleshoot Mouse Pointer Speed Reduced to its Half Speed

Briefly explain your current issue(s)

Mouse Pointer Speed reduced to its half speed

Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful

0. Do a System Restore prior to that. - no effect, then tried 1.
1. Uninstall/reinstall Synaptics. - no effect, then tried 2.
2. Uninstall/reinstall mouse/touchpad driver. - no effect then tried 3.
3. Adjust registry settings and reverted again to its normal settings. - what? still no effect!

First time I have encountered this. I always set my pointer speed (touchpad on netbook) to maximum, and using Synaptics Touch Pad, also enable "momentum."

I booted on a USB using GParted Live ISO. The mouse pointer speed was so fast there. I rebooted back to Windows, then this strange thing happened: the speed of the pointer was reduced to half. At full speed scale, it was the average, normal speed. Even though I use momentum, still slow for me.

I tried these four things:

0. Do a System Restore prior to that. - no effect, then tried 1.
1. Uninstall/reinstall Synaptics. - no effect, then tried 2.
2. Uninstall/reinstall mouse/touchpad driver. - no effect then tried 3.
3. Adjust registry settings and reverted again to its normal settings. - what? still no effect!

All these four things resulted to NOTHING. Still the speed was half its normal speed. SYSTEM RESTORE failed me! Though I had a successful system restore, but the touchpad speed wasn't reverted back to its normal speed!

Pls help!

I do NOT want to reinstall Windows!

Thanks!
