1. Short description.
  This driver/program is intended to "overclock" USB mice under Windows 98
  through XP x64, Windows Vista 32 bit,
  Windows Vista 64 bit (with disabled driver signature enforcement).

  Program changes only mouse rate, not touching other devices on USB.

  You can learn more about theory and the program here:
  http://www.overclockers.ru/lab/15925.shtml (in Russian language(*))

  I have personally tested it under Windows 98SE, Windows 2000 SP2/SP4, 
  Windows XP RTM/SP1/SP2, Windows Vista 32 bit RTM, Windows Vista 64 bit RTM.
  Testing under Windows XP x64 SP1 was performed by Dark_Cloud.

2. Installation.
  1. For OSes begin from Windows XP for successful work is REQUIRED 
  the presence original (not altered by other programs) version
  of system driver USBPORT.SYS (%sytemroot%\system32\drivers\usbport.sys)

  2. Install my driver HIDUSBF.SYS. For this purpose execute SETUP.EXE (there
  should also be .INF and .SYS files). Click Install Service. 

  In case of HIDUSBF service wasn't installed through 
  SETUP.EXE (button "Install Service") you may try to do this by OS 
  standard possibility:
  mouse right button click on HIDUSBF.INF -> Install

  Then choose the line with your mouse and put a checkmark Filter On Device.
  Check that in the row Filter it says Yes. After that choose desired refresh
  rate. After that click Restart. Check if the refresh rate has really 
  changed (for example with the program Mouse Rate Checker).

  If your rate did not change, then you should either restart, plug out
  and plug in mouse cable or stop your mouse and restart it in 
  Device Manager.
   
  If the rate does not increase more than 125Hz, then you should 
  try DECREASE it to 31Hz or 62Hz.
  If the rate does decrease, then the driver functions properly, however
  or you mouse is not overclockable; or USBPORT.SYS was altered
  or simply too new and so unknown to the program.

  3. As from Windows XP: If you suppose that mouse is overclockable, 
  but in reality previous actions is not lead to success, 
  you may try to load patched version of USBPORT.SYS.
  This version is unlocked so that driver can make his work.
  For this moment the versions exists for Windows XP SP2 
  and Windows XP x64 SP1. Location:

  http://sweetlow.at.tut.by/download/hidusbfp.zip 
  or
  http://at.tut.by/sweetlow/download/hidusbfp.zip

  If you can make program will work by this method - mail me, it's is
  nonstandard situation.

3. Uninstall.
  1. Unlink driver from mouse through SETUP.EXE (Filter = No)
  2. For removing a service and file of driver:
  mouse right button click on HIDUSBFU.INF -> Install
  3. If you have delete a driver but not unlink it from mouse
  then the mouse will stop working. To make mouse working you
  may simply delete device, corresponding to mouse in Device Manager,
  then scan for new devices.

4. Contacts.
  You can access newest version at this link:

  Good luck in overclocking mice :)               SweetLow

5. History.

Added 2009/02/03:

1. To load driver under Vista x64 SP1 you can use "Test Mode" method.
See DSEO program:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Added 2008/04/22:

1. Setup now aware of Windows x64. Don't forget - under Windows Vista 64 bit
driver will load only with disabled driver signature enforcement.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Added 2008/04/19:

1. Windows Vista 64 bit checked and work (with disabled driver 
signature enforcement).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Added 2007/05/16:

1. Windows Vista 32 bit checked and work. In principle, version for XP x64 
may work under Vista 64 bit, however AFAIK there is required 
digitally signed driver...
2. Documentation rewritten.
3. Patched USBPORT.SYS move into separate archive.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Added 2006/09/30:

1. Drivers for 98/ME and 2000 shrink to fit in one page.
2. DRIVER folder and HIDUSBF.INF reordered.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Added 2006/01/12:

1. Below-mentioned development is executed for XP x64.
Thank Dark_Cloud once again for recurrent testing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Added 2005/12/26:

1. Driver was enhanced - for its installation under XP is NOT 
required to install corrected USBPORT.SYS. However, if there is observed
some anomalies - you may go back to old working sequence
(corrected USBPORT.SYS + driver in the folder DRIVER\STD).
Thank Alan 'Strider' Kivlin for the idea of patching the code 
of USBPORT.SYS on the fly.
Thank Root for valuable link for realization.
The same development for Windows XP x64 is still not done - there is a
difficulties with testing.

2. In case of HIDUSBF service wasn't installed under Win x64 through Setup.EXE

3. There was added possibility to uninstall HIDUSBF service and file:
mouse right button click on HIDUSBFU.INF -> Install
