pointer-speed

I have a compaq 610 running windows 7, and I use a USB mouse on it.

The pointer speed is different for the mouse and the touchpad, so when I go to a meeting and take the notebook but not the mouse, the pointer moves too slow using the touchpad and I have to manually adjust it (of course when I return, I have to slow it down because the mouse would move the pointer too fast).

Is there any way to fix this, or to have this setting separate for both devices?
