Dual Monitors - Messed up pointer

[ngxGraz]

Hey guys, i just built a new pc, and a few days later hooked up a second monitor.
I'm using a geforce 8600 gt, with two DVI's to two 19" monitors on windows xp pro. It was working great until (I think) I installed iScrobbler. After that point (and i tried uninstalling it) whenever my pointer moves to the right screen, the pointer changes to something random, like a timeglass, a hand pointer, text bar, etc. I tried rerunnign the wizard, but that only fixed it for about a minute. Anyone else had this problem?

I have no idea what iScrobbler is but are you sure that it's virus-free? I recommend you do full virus and spyware scans just in case.

Once you've removed any viruses, to get your system back to the state it was in before you installed iScrobbler just use System Restore. You can find this under Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools.

If that doesn't work and your system is a brand-new build, you may as well just re-format your hard drive and re-install Windows.

I got it by rerunning the wizard ,rebooting and reinstalling.
It's a brand new computer... there hasn't been the opportunity for virii/malware

brand new or not, the second you connect to the internet or insert a disc you are not sure about, you can pick up a virus. All it takes is 2 second connection to internet to pick up something.

Haha yes I know, but my point is it isn't virus related.
It comes up randomly now once in a while, and I can get rid of it by just opening a full screen game (P usually do enemy territories ) then closing it.

Try uninstalling the mouse then restarting and letting windows reinstall it.

Might help depending on if anything leftover is causing it.
