Sorry, I can just not get it done.  It's such a sluggish way of
aiming, and yes I've changed the mouse controls, and tried them on
several variations, and it's still not easy to aim.  And by not easy,
I mean, practically impossible for me to aim using the mouse.

I might have to just give up.  The other problem I've noticed is that
whenever there's a few monsters in the area, the tracking of the video
seems jumpy, and disjointed like it's not running smoothly.  I can
pretty much shoot Imps without the mouse, if I just leave the aim
point centered, but not when I can't move smoothly.  I bought this
computer last summer--the game came out in , what, 2004, right?  A
computer three years older than the game should be able to track
smoothly right?

And now with the Lost Souls, I can't even see the fricking things, I'm
getting bumped around so much.  I couldn't shoot lost souls easily in
doom2 either, but at least I could move out of their damn way then.
Now with the tracking difficulty...I just can't get it done.
