For windows XP to adjust hardware acceleration go to display in your control panel. After opening display go to settings tab and click advanced in the bottom right. Then click the troubleshooter tab. You should then see a slider setting for the hardware accelleration on your graphics card. I would move it to the middle if its set on high. You should probably check the enable write combining below the slider. Hope this helps. You should find a mouse in the control panel also with a simular type slider to adjust the speed.
It was the hardware acceleration. I moved it two notches down and then went and played a quick 9 @ Black Widow (previously unplayable) with no problems. This adjustment killed two birds with one stone, as the swing meter slowed down somewhat and I was mostly bang on where I wanted to be with my clicks. I'll be checking out the other "problem" courses later to day, but needless to say, I'm optomistic.

It almost had to be something like that... something specific to Dave's system. Like most problems in this game, once you find out what the problem is, it usually turns out to be fairly easy to fix. But finding the problem can drive you nuts.
