My brother's Toshiba Satellite 1910 laptop seems to be acting a little strange. He bought it the other day from my aunt, so it is in no way returnable. However, the problem appears to be with the display. For some reason, every time the mouse is moved on the desktop, or a window dragged, the LCD produces a multiple image blur- almost as if the refresh rate is too low ( I think). I'm not familiar with laptop LCD's so I can't pinpoint if this is a problem or if it's just normal with older laptops. Anyhow, If anyone could give me some information it would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

Are we talking, the mouse pointer looks like there are like, 8 of them following each other?
Does anything else go blurry on the screen when moving, like games or anything?
If not, then I am gonna take a stab and say you have your mouse set to POINTER TRAIL. This is often done on laptops as it is hard to keep track of the cursor on the little screen, with the not so clear picture.
Go into START MENU, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL, and then double click on MOUSE SETTINGS.
At the bottom of the mouse settings window, is the POINTER TRAILS, make sure it is not ticked.
Sorry if this is all too obvious and not the problem! Just a thought.

To reply to the second message, the screen is blurry in everything. On the desktop it's the mouse, in games, like MarioPC, it's mario. Anything that moves is made to appear like there's multiple faded images trailing behind. Does anyone know what causes this. Like i said earlier, I think it's the LCD's refresh rate, but I can't find any way of adjusting it. It's not in the Windows Setup under display or anything. Please Help!

You cannot adjust the lcd refresh rate. for normal lCD refrash rate is 60Hz and this should enough event new lCD also using this setting.Try to look for driver update and bios update from Toshiba. If this still not solved your problem this might be your hardware limitation(might be passive LCD screen)or your display driver capability.
