Out of Screen problem

I don't really know if this is a OS problem.
I realized this after upgrading the video Drivers, so it might be very well the drivers (52.16 Nvidia)
OK, my problem is the following:
If I go with the mouse to the right, I can go beyond the limit. WAY BEYOND!!!.
The screen itself doesn't continue, but the mouse according to what I calculated, can go about half screen size more over the limit. This is very annoying considering that when I go to the bars or close button if I go out of the screen I have to come back but I can see the pointer. Suggestions??

I found the problem, and yes it is the drivers. This never happen to me before...
After updating the drivers, it selected by default Clone view, since I have the S-Video connected to the TV.
When I put it in Single Mode I don't have that problem, so obviously it is only in clone, and I wonder why. I didn't have that problem before and I use Clone a lot since I like to watch DVDs on the TV

there is a setting that lets you scroll off onto a second monitor.. I forget what it is specifically called now, but with it turned on your card can span across two monitors.. It is a great feature for multi-monitor setups.
:D

Yep BB's got it, you can drag things over to the other monitor. :)

I have spanning to multiple monitors off, since I don't have the TV on the Video channel all the time. Only for specific moments. I check for those setting first. I have no idea what was wrong :confused:

Could be that the driver you had, even though you selected to turn off multi-monitor spanning, it didn't actually do it. That is the only explanation I can think of.

Maybe. Anyways, Issue resolve, and I fixed another curiosity I had. And it was that benchmark decreased a little bit after installing new drivers. OF course, it was in clone view :p
Everything is fine now. I guess we can archive this post for future reference ;)

Isn't there a program utility out that purges all traces of Nvidia drivers?
