    « on: January 08, 2010, 04:48:28 PM »
    Can someone help me please I have had ghost but on my computer which solved problems I was having, but when it started up again my optical mouse would not drag and drop it just ripples, I tried another mouse and it does the same, I have looked at mouse settings but cant seem to find the answer  Thank you in anticipation.

      This is my first ever forum so not sure if I am doing it right .
      Yes when I click on something to move it, it moves with a rippel effect and I dont know where it will stop. My icons had also become a lot bigger after ghosting my computer but I was able to alter them, its as if settings have been changed. I checked my settings for my mouse with my other computer and they are both the same.

      Control Panel/Mouse/Settings...turn off trails.

        Thank you for your reply but trails for my mouse is not switched on. I am now wondering if it is not to do with the mouse but something else, because if I try to scoll down  by clicking with my mouse that also rippels down, perhaps rippels is not the right word but I dont know how else to explain it.

        Install the current driver for your video card and let's see if that helps.

          Thank you again for trying to help me out. I  had a new graphics card put in after my computer was ghosted that was what caused the problem. I put my Graphics card back in and it worked ok after that. Regards Videojoan.

          You can use the new card, you just have to install the correct driver.
