This is becausethey can affect the calibration process and result in a lower overall performancelevel. For mouse calibration, ensure that there are no application windowslocated around the upper left corner of the screen. This is because as the mousecalibration takes place, the cursor may change (to match the application as itskims across the window) and this may confuse the calculation. Also ensure thatthe host computer does not have the mouse cursor trails option enabled.To auto calibrate the screen and/or mouse1. Use.the.Hosts.button.to.select.the.required.computer.2.
