shifted cursor in Vista makes navigation difficult
Ok, here's a problem I haven't seen anyone ask about: when I bought a new
machine with Vista on it, I immediately noticed that I was having trouble clicking exactly on the point I wanted. That is, the location where the cursor is clicking on is not the point of the cursor arrow, and this is even more noticeable when it's the pointer-hourglass combination -- the location it's pointing to is somewhere in the center of the cursor graphic. This is especially frustrating when I'm resizing windows or wanting to choose from among objects that are close together. I know I'm not hallucinating this, because my laptop still runs XP, and I have no trouble using the cursor there. But this has been surprisingly frustrating, and none of my attempts at using different cursor designs have made a difference. Any suggestions, o wise ones? |

This problem appeared on many Dell computers with ATI video cards. The
solution is new video drivers. On my computer the corrected drivers appeared as a windows update. Stuart "BrainyBear" wrote in message ...

That's exactly what the problem was, Stuart, and updating the driver fixed it
perfectly. Thanks so much! "Stuart Sabatini" wrote: This problem appeared on many Dell computers with ATI video cards. The solution is new video drivers. On my computer the corrected drivers appeared as a windows update. Stuart |
