mouse lag

hey guys, i have been having a somewhat unique problem, as i cannot find anything in any FAQ pages to suggest that anybody else has had this problem.
for some reason, the Freelancer pointer (in-game and menu) lags almost a second behind the mouse movement. i have turn up the mouse sensitivity in both the game menu as well as in the Windows settings. I am currently running Windows Server 2003. Hardware Acceleration is on full as well as the mouse driver setting.

is there anyone here who can help me fix this problem? i have been playing Freelancer for about two years and i have never run into this before. i just recently installed the game onto my new computer. any help would be much appreciated

Now that's a new one! Must be weird but funny to play FL like this - lol. Sorry, more serious:
Have you installed some special drivers with your mouse, like Logitech's own drivers ? If so go back to standard Windows mouse driver; I heard that in other games (some first person shooters) such a change could help.
Second possibility: I know that some Mods had difficulties running on your version of Windows. Try to run it in W98-compatibility mode.

Also, how much ram do you have? Too little and it will lag mouse/graphics. You can also use the options in FL and deactivate some of the graphics quality, and it should pick up speed a little.
