Mouse artifacts all over screen

**macdonaldjr** · 11-26-2002, 10:20 PM

Hello everyone. I've been experiencing this problem for a while now, and have always ignored it, however it is starting to really irritate me. I'm hoping that someone here might have a solution to the problem.

The problem: When I move my mouse over the panels, it leaves mouse 'artifacts' all over the place. It almost looks like I have mouse trails turned on (except these ones won't disappear right away, most of the time I have to switch the view to have them disappear).

I have used the search button to try and find any tips for this problem, but was only able to find one thread where mouse artifacts were mentioned, and there were no solutions offered in it. The post did mention that he was using the 40.72 drivers (the post is actually called 'New Nvidia 40.72 drivers') which are the same drivers I am using. I have tried a few other different versions of the drivers though, and the problem has not been fixed by doing this. Hopefully someone else has some possible answers....

My system, if it helps:
Tbird 1.2 GHz / Asus A7M266
768 MB RAM
GeForce 2 GTS PRO 64MB AGP video card

Thanks in advance.

I had that problem when I had my pointer set to a 3-d version. When I went back to the plain old windows default, the problem disappeared.

Hope it helps,

Jeff

Jeff, YOU THE MAN!! I've spent hours today now trying to figure this thing out... You hit it right on, I was using a 3D mouse pointer. Switched over to the windows default, and voila!

Thanks again!

Yeah! And with 4D pointers that will come with "Windows XXL" (codename) it will be even worse... ;-) :-lol
