I think the ONLY way to tell is to run the MouseMovementRecorder.exe while running xim.exe and see if moment is 1:1. Does everyone agree on this; because I think there is a lot of confusion from this guys blog.
I copied the text bellow from the "Windows Mouse Things" blog. I don't think it is clear at all.
- To test he says to turn it ON, from NOTE: "normally should be OFF"
- "If you have it OFF it does not work", so having it ON is when the fix works.
_ last sentence "Turn it off when you are done testing." this means to me that OFF makes it work.

http://donewmouseaccel.blogspot.com/2010/04/markc-mouse-acceleration-fix-builder.htmlHow do you know the fix is working?You can test if it is working by temporarily turning on the 'Enhance pointer precision' feature and see how the mouse responds.
(NOTE: Only turn 'Enhance pointer precision' on for testing: it should normally be set OFF.)If you have
'Enhance pointer precision' OFF, then the fix will not be active (but it will be waiting to be activated when needed).
Just as some games turn it on when you don't want them to, we can turn it on manually to test that the fix is working properly.
Go to Control Panel, and select Hardware and Sound, then click Mouse. Select 'Pointer options' and check-ON/enable the 'Enhance pointer precision' option.
See how the mouse responds.
If you want, you can run the MouseMovementRecorder.exe program that is included in the ZIP file to see that the mouse and pointer movements are 1-to-1 and always the same (or are whatever custom scaling you entered).
(The numbers in the MOUSE MOVEMENT column should be the same as the numbers in the POINTER MOVEMENT column. Any differences will appear in green or red.
If you do sometimes see differences, also test with 'Enhance pointer precision' OFF, in case the problem is with Windows or MouseMovementRecorder.exe rather than a problem with the fix.)
(NOTE: While running a game, you may see many red and green lines.
Games that need a fix usually frequently re-position the pointer and this confuses MouseMovementRecorder.exe but DOES NOT mean acceleration.

Turn the 'Enhance pointer precision' option OFF when you have finished testing.
