Mousex() and MouseY() are not tracking unless i press a mouse button, then it tracks where i mouse clicked and then i have to press the mouse buton again to make it track further. so to recap, one click = one position tracked mouse button pressed down = one position tracked the code below is soo simple. Strict Graphics 800, 600, 32,75 Local testImage:TImage = LoadImage("Image1.bmp", MASKEDIMAGE) While Not KeyDown(KEY_ESCAPE) Cls DrawImage testImage,MouseX(),MouseY() Flip FlushMem WaitKey Wend End

Take out that waitkey command.

WaitKey() halts the programs execution until a key (or mouse button) is pressed. The clue is in the 'wait' bit. ;o) So do as Mr G suggested. :o)
