ok.. i've searched all over the place... and i can't figure out what is causing my mouse to leave remnants on the screen whenever i open up an application or something. for instance i'll open up cooledit2000 and load a wav file and there will be a little rectangle of my desktop that surrounds my mouse pointer on top of the waveform. the remnant stays there even if i move my mouse. if i minimize and restore, the remnant goes away.

it's the most annoying thing in the world (at least at the moment). :-)

i have win98, nivdia riva tnt, detonator 28.32, sound blaster live 5.1, amd k6-2 550.

any ideas?

thanks.
