aco Veteran Posted October 7, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2001 To show shaddows under mouse pointers: Right-click on "My Computer" and click properties. Click on the "Advanced" tab In the performance box, click on "Settings" Under the "Visual Effects" tab check "Custom" You will now be able to choose what visual setting you wish to enable. Make sure you check "Show shaddows under mouse pointer" ;) Good luck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitallaughter Posted October 7, 2001 Author Share Posted October 7, 2001 Worked like a charm thanks:) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortensen Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 It is often lost when you choose "Adjust for best perfromance". This also gets rid of a few other nice features. Personally, even though a mouse shadow is the least important thing ever it's really noticable when you don't have it. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PabUK Veteran Posted October 7, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2001 Speaking of digital effects, does anyone actually leave the menu shadows on? I don't know if it was just my system but they slowed things down really badly. Opening my huge favorites menu in IE for instance took several seconds. Much better off without it.

Roger H. Veteran Posted October 7, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2001 I think the only problem i have with that shadow is in Office XP. It's sometimes runs really slow but my other menus run good. That lil thing that hide the options that you don't use, when you click that down arrow it's slow to go all the way.

PabUK Veteran Posted October 7, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2001 Odd because mine was really slow when using menu shadows in large menus. Don't have a problem with the hide/show hidden icons button though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortensen Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 I have MAJOR problems with shadows too. They load really quick but take AGES to disappear. It's TOTALLY related to drivers on my TNT2 as I have had it to work fine on older drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altezza Veteran Posted October 8, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 8, 2001 shadow split? how come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortensen Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 It's really annoying. It loads the shadows quickly but takes AGES to draw over the menu once you click off of it. Using 21.85 drivers [21.81 don't work either]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PabUK Veteran Posted October 8, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 8, 2001 I just tried menu shadows again for the first time in ages. Although it was faster than before, it still took about a second for a large menu to appear whereas without the shadow it is instant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
