TITLE   :Mouse Leaves Trails; Standard VGA After Warm Boot
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
If you have a VESA local bus video adapter with the Cirrus 5426 chip
set, the following two problems may occur:
 
 - On a fast VESA local bus machine, pixels are inappropriately left
   on. For example, moving the mouse pointer leaves a trail of pixels.
 
 - After a warm boot, the standard VGA driver (640 x 480 with 16 colors)
   is run.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
Inappropriate pixel activation is caused by the speed of the machine.
This problem also occurs under Windows 3.1 with the same hardware
configuration.
 
The warm boot problem is caused by a timing conflict and does not
occur on all configurations.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
For the pixel problem you need to either slow down the processor speed
of your machine or obtain a new video adapter.
 
If you cold boot your machine, the video driver problem does not
occur.
