    Mouse trail in Win98

    Hi,

    I want to activate the mouse trail and set the length of the trail in vb. I've searched the forums, but all the posts use the same method, which works only in Win95.
    It's this method:

    Public Declare Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32" Alias "SystemParametersInfoA" (ByVal uAction As Long, ByVal uParam As Long, ByVal lpvParam As Long, ByVal fuWinIni As Long) As Long

    Public Const SPI_SETMOUSETRAILS = 93
    SystemParametersInfo SPI_SETMOUSETRAILS, 7, 0, vbNull

    Does anyone know a way to do it in Win98?

    tnx

    MK

    According to this link, setting the mouse trails is supported in both 95 and 98.

    I've read somewhere that it only worked for Win95.

    It seems my declaration of SystemParametersInfo is somewhat different, strange.

    Anyway, it doesn't seem to work for me.
