Thanks. >Robert This smearing effect also occurs while running TascBase and while running Tasc Tutor. In other words, it's only happening in DOS programs running in Windows. I wish I could describe the smearing better, but the mouse is ill-defined on the screen and seems to "pick up" whatever it passes over and kind of smears it around. In a way, it also looks a bit like the mouse is "scrubbing off" the top layer of the display to reveal a pattern of what looks somewhat like the pattern made by circuits you'd on a circuit board. Does this make sense to anyone? Robert
