Ascii art time: _____________ |_| | | | | | |___________| The pointer appears normally on the screen. However, clicking around =20= the screen does not work except in a small area in the top left =20 corner. Moving the mouse within this tiny corner seems to scale up =20 and operate on the entire screen. Eg. if I click and drag across the =20= tiny corner, I can see the selection appear across the entire desktop. Is this similar to your issue? Did you find a resolution? Cheers Sam
