Pointer Trails Not Present in Windows 98

ID: Q192720

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you enable the Show Pointer Trails option in Mouse properties in Windows 98, pointer trails may not appear when you move the mouse.


CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you are using an STB Velocity 128 video adapter, an STB nVIDIA TNT 16 MB video adapter, or an Nvidia Riva 128 video adapter with the video adapter drivers included with Windows 98. Pointer trails are provided by the video adapter driver, and the Windows 98 drivers for these video adapters do not include this feature.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, contact the video adapter's manufacturer to determine whether the manufacturer has an available driver that provides the pointer trails functionality.
