Strange monitor issue

Strange monitor issue

Postby augie » Fri Jan 09, 2009 6:51 pm

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. :confused Any ideas?

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?

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. ^*^

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.
