I am sitting in front of a Macintosh with no access to a Windows platform, but as I recall you go to the "desktop" control panel (or whatever it is called in Windows NT) and turn "window drag" option off. If someone knows the correct terminology here, I'd be happy to put the correct info on my web page for future reference.

Thanks. Yes, the item is found under Control Panel -> Display -> Plus! - Visual Settings. The "Show window contents while dragging" option needs to be turned off. Thanks, Ken
