Windows drag too slow and leave trails

[Paul]

I was having erratic operation and error messages at
various times when using XP Home, so I decided to reload
a fresh copy, after formatting the C: partition.
Everything seems to be OK now except there is an annoying
problem when I drag any window.

When dragging a window the window does not stay up with
the pointer, it lags behind and leaves shadows than
catches up when I stop the pointer where I want the
window. It's acting like a pointer would act if pointer
trails were turned on to the max. I reloaded windows
twice and same thing. A fix would be greatly
appreciated, if anyone knows.

How much RAM does your system have? What is your video card? What type
of mouse? Have you updated the drivers, especially for the video card?
