    There's always a white circle around the mouse pointer when I move it.
    And it happens when I switch to Vista Basic Theme :confused:

    Any solution? :(

    What sort of "tweaks" have you done to your desktop/GUI?

    Do you have pointer trails enabled?

    Does it happen in Safe Mode? Have you updated your video drivers? Are you using the default cursor scheme?

    Wow! Finally I found the problem.
    That was because of ATI Remote Wonder "ATIRW.exe" :mad:
