Strange monitor issue
I have a 9800GT and a 19" wide monitor. At times the cursor will go off screen for as much as 3 inches on the right, measured with my mouse. I have checked nVidia's CP and all is properly set @ 1440X900. Oh, sometimes it's both edges of the screen but now it's only the right side. I updated from the 178.08s to the current 180.48s and still the same issue. I'm baffled here. Any ideas?

Re: Strange monitor issue
You got me Algis. Sounds like a resolution issue either on the monitor or PC end. Have you tested the monitor on another PC to be sure it's not the monitor itself?

Re: Strange monitor issue
Since using the nVidia card my cursor will end up somewhere else e.g. if I click on something in the middle and then all by itself it will sorta disappear and then appear nano second off to the right or left

Ya, maybe I should try that but I'll have to rebuild my X2 first as it's gutted ATM. I thought it was a res issue too but apparently not.

My issue is that I can move the cursor off screen and then I lose it until I can manage to find the right spot to bring it back in. It's not a dire situation but frustrating as heck!
Ooh, I can multi-quote with ease now too.

Re: Strange monitor issue
Your mouse shouldn't be going off the edge of the page at all. I last saw that when setting up multiple monitors and when using two gpu's for SLI
If you're showing 2 or maybe even 4 displays then check which is set to default and maybe also check that your monitor is plugged into the correct display.
