i just bought a new mouse (ikari optical mouse).

to get the curser across the monitor (wide screen) i have to move the new mouse at least twice the distance on the mouse pad. in fact, the mouse pad is not wide enough to do this. i have to lift the mouse and reposition it. and move it again. not good for gaming.

i remember there being a setting to adjust thie but i can't seem to find it (i'm running vista). it's not in the MOUSE area of the CONTROL PANEL.

and, there is no such setting in the mouse's software provided.

any suggestions?
