Mouse cursor problem!

Hello!
I have a very strange problem.
The active point of the mouse cursor is not where the cursor appears.
The cursor I see is about 1 cm to the diagonal left. For example, if
i paint a line in Paint the line will be around 1cm from the cursor.
When i booting upp vista with F8 (don't know the name for that mode in
english) everything works as it should. I would be very happy if I got
some help.
Best regards

Hi All,

I'm no expert, but I would guess that if things work fine in 'saf
mode' (F8), then the problem is probably a driver or some program tha
is not started in 'safe mode'. If the problem is specific to one o
another program (I had a prob. similar to this in Corel Photo Paint)
try right click on the program file (or a shortcut), select properties
compatibility tab and check the 'disable desktop composition' box. If i
is a general problem, the first thing I would try is to reinstall th
mouse driver. I too have a dell xps420. Tried their tech suppor
(email). The answer I received after 3 weeks led me to believe the
didn't even read the email.

Just a thought. Hope it helps.

I have recently purchased a DELL Inspiron 530 and have the same issue.

Well "oold", most of us are NOT posting to your "Forum". We are are in the
Usenet newsgroup.
We don't, nor do we want to, see all of your web based "posts". Use a news
reader....
