422.0. "Mouse Trails?" by NNTPD::"utz@allvax.enet.dec.com" (James Utz) Tue Apr 29 1997 17:33

A customer has an intermittent problem where the mouse
leaves streaks or trails across his windows.  His machine
is an XL266, AGPro2500 graphics, and NT 4.0.  Problems
have been experienced with Pro/E v17 and v18.  My guess
is that it's not really Pro/E specific though (so why am
I here??? :).

Currently, the customer reboots to fix the problem, but
it can happen up to three times a day.  Is this an AG2500
driver issue?

Thanks,
James

PS - What is the best driver version for this configuration?

422.1make sure "full drag" is off?HYDRA::DONSBACHJeff Donsbach, Software Partner Engineering, DTN 297-6862Tue Apr 29 1997 20:1518
    
    Best driver version qual'ed in an Alpha w/ Pro/E is 4.1.10,
    but 4.2.3 is available at http://www.service.digital.com. We've
    been testing that too and it looks clean so far, but we're not
    done yet.
    
    Did you make sure "Full Drag" is turned off under the desktop
    properties? Right click the mouse on the NT 4.0 desktop to
    bring up the properties window. Click the "Plus!" tab and
    make sure "Show window contents while dragging" is NOT checked.
    This sounds like the type of problem that can be caused by
    "full drag" being enabled. Pro/E doesn't mix with that.
