Dragged Icons do not show their ghosts -- help!

I just bought a brand new Dell computer and it came with
something a bit wacky. When I click on any icon and drag
it I cannot see it dragging -- there is not ghost icon
visible. When I let go of the mouse it moves where I was
pointing but I cannot see the ghost as I drag it.

I have created alternate users and the problem remains
for these new accounts as well.

What should I do? I need to fix this rather than send
the whole thing back to Dell.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Hit the Winkey+pause/break to open system properties (or do it from the
control panel). Go to the advanced tab and click on performance settings. On
the Visual Effects tab, make sure the option to show contents while dragging
is enabled.

Thanks for the suggestion, however, I had already checked
all of the obvious things, like that. This is not a
normal issue.

Any other ideas?
