Guest yesboss Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Hi there, thanks in advance for any help. I have a strange problem where the active point of the mouse cursor is not where the cursor appears. The cursor I see is about 1 cm to the diagnal left. For example, if i want to click a button, i have to move the mouse cursor 1 cm to the diagnal left. The problem is intermittent. I also have 2 screens and it doesn't happen on my extended screen, only the primary one. When it does happen, i cannot move the cursor onto the taskbar. It seems to go back to normal when i change to a different app, other than windows explorer (i think). Thanks for any help, John
