SYMPTOMS
When you move the pointing device and you have the Pointer Trails feature
enabled in the Mouse tool in Control Panel, the pointer trails may remain
visible on the screen.

Pointer Trails feature of the IntelliPoint software.

display driver.

of Full (the Most accelerator functions setting).
