Ghosting
- Term used to describe a shadowing effect on any moving images on a screen. This issue can occur if you are using an older monitor, have a software setting enabled that causes this effect, or system resources are low.
- A description of a person who has gone offline yet is still appearing as though they are still logged in.
- A form of cheating in online games where players that have died tell other players that are still alive where other players in the game are.
- Another method of describing a LCD or flat-panel display with a slow response time.
- Using Norton's Ghost program, the act of ghosting is the method of copying the complete hard disk drive contents to another media such as a CD or network drive. Once ghosted, this image can be distributed over several computers.
This is commonly done in a corporate environment where the same operating system and corporate software needs to be installed on dozens of different computers.
