David: VNC does not currently work in fullscreen DOS mode. Your program must have switched to fullscreen DOS mode when you restarted it. This has the effect of leaving mouse trails all over the screen. To get out of it, simply hit the keys CTRL and ENTER at the same time to switch back to windowed mode.
You may want to create a program definition for it to force it into windowed mode each time you start it. Regards, Stephan.
