    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.

    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

    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
    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?
    The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
