Win 8 mouse fix. [Fix 1000Hz even for window dragging]

[PvillePiper]

I attempted to apply the 8.1 mouse fix but it says that the update is not applicable. I have 8.1 Pro and a 1000 ms polling mouse (Corsair M60 Vengeance). What does this issue cause. I didn't notice a huge issue when I upgraded to 8.1. I did both the Beta and then had to re-install the whole operating system when I up-graded to 8.1.
On a side note, I wish the G-Synch monitors would get here already! I didn't have the money to buy a monitor back when the upgrade kits were still available and now, with a new (better paying) job, I want one badly!

What this means is that you already have the KB patch applied, but you still need to install the registry tweak, and that will work. So skip the KB install, but install the registry tweak anyway.
I added a note:

Damn, isn't that inconvenient...
Fortunately, GSYNC is going to boom by the end of the year - but if you cannot wait, you could buy a 120Hz monitor, then sell it in six months to a year, when a favourite GSYNC display comes out.

The monitor equivalent of Moore's Law is normally approximately five or more years, but we are going through an incredible rapid suddenly-accelerated evolution of "Better Than 60Hz" technologies much like the moment when HDD became SSD. Even if we sometimes have to wait six months, but that is not as bad as waiting five years (though one can be on a tight budget and can hate upgrading often). Four years ago, 120Hz desktop LCD monitors did not exist, and now we got a boom in motion fluidity improving tech such as GSYNC, LightBoost, ULMB, Turbo240, etc!

)sigh) I did miss your next paragraph that stated such but... I can't find the step by step that says where to put the registry entry. This is all I can find doing an internet search "So i need to install the Windows8.1-KB2908279-v2-x64, restart if prompted,
then in Step #4 on the Microsoft page it states to Create a new registry entry for the game. To do this, right-click Layers, click New, click String Value, type the full path of the game’s executable file in the box, and then press Enter.
So where it says to type the full path of the game’s executable file in the box,
we enter c:\windows\explorer.exe? "
Did I miss something else?

I think I will wait, luck at selling used computer components has been a little less than successful to say the least and I don't think that 2 120 Hz monitors would be needed especially since currently I have a VS247H-P. The wife won't understand to say the least...

BTW... Great site. Lots of very good information explained in a way that anyone should be able to understand it. Thanks again!

Yep.
A nice step by step:

Instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\Game\Engine.exe, enter C:\Windows\Explorer.exe

I will admit that the Microsoft page is a bit confusing, so I may make a full BlurBusters HOWTO, with step-by-step screenshots directly on BlurBusters to become a better HOWTO than the one on Microsoft. Thanks for the comments!
