    Mouselook issue in Bootcamp

    I setup a bootcamp install and then installed parallels and set it to use my bootcamp partition so I could download my windows games while I worked in osx. (I also like having my work separate from my games.)

    When I boot into windows and launch eq2, mouse look is completely broken. The mouse keeps reseting the cursor to a specific point everytime mouselook is used. To the point that the game unplayable.

    Do you think installing parallels has anything to do with this?

    It is worse with the trackpad, but my mouse is really bad also.. Uninstalling parallels and the parallels tools does nothing to help.

    Thanks!

    Just tested some more. Skyrim and MW3 have no trackpad / mouse issues. So far this one game is the only one I am having problems with.

    Just found another user that is having the same issue with free look spinning around. I have also found another game that will not run at at.. (Age of empires online.)

    I am wondering if it is the gpu driver instead of the mouse and trackpad?

    Ok, my rMBP spinning around issue has been fixed...

    I deleted my bootcamp install, and reinstalled it without installing parallels, and the problem is gone!

    For some reason, if you use parallels 7 with the bootcamp partition as its image, it goofs up the drivers...
