I couldn't have said it better myself :>
The mouse drivers for both Eyebrowse and Mirage had to be different from the
standard 3D Studio drivers to support both programs' on-line help and
multi-tasking abilities. As a result, if your mouse speed was not set to the
default of 2, the mouse would stick to the top left corner of the screen. It
was a necessary sacrifice for the benefit of the on-line help and the animated
previews in Mirage. However, that problem has been fixed in both Mirage and
the registered version of Eyebrowse so that you can now have your mouse speed
to whatever you wish (although I've never met anyone who has theirs set to 3 or
higher). If anyone would like, I will upload the fixed version.
Eyebrowse will also run in 256 color graphic modes, but it's just not as
pretty. I've found that on most of the newer graphics cards, highcolor or
truecolor actually writes to the screen faster than 8-bit mode because of the
parallel data transfer that these cards use. Ain't technology great!
