Creatures Caves

This is more of an annoyance than anything else, and I've been dealing with it for some time now. Figured I might as well attempt to see if anyone had the same issue, though, in case there was an easy fix!

Basically, the hand moves very quickly across the screen in C1 and C3/DS. This might also be the case in C2, but I haven't opened the game up to attempt it. I'm using the GOG.com versions of the games on a Windows 7 system. I never had this issue before, and silly me didn't pinpoint exactly when the problem started.

I've gotten used to it by now and only make a few mistakes, but I was a wreck for awhile! I'd like to make some more Creatures videos, and getting the pointer back to normal would be a huge improvement. One of the biggest changes I recently made was reinstalling Petz 3 and PetzA again, though I don't see how those would interfere.

Has anyone had this issue before? Is there any way to somehow slow down the pointer movement? No worries if no one has any clue what this is: I've never heard of it before, and I tend to be the one with the odd issues! Luckily, I can live with this. And it's just the hand... Everything else in the games functions at the proper speed.
