If you have multiple monitors connected to your computer and you move the
mouse pointer from the primary to the secondary monitor, a copy of the
mouse pointer may remain on the primary monitor.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if either or both of the following conditions
exist:
- You are using an unsupported video adapter as the primary video
adapter.
- You are using an unsupported vendor-provided video adapter driver for
the primary video adapter.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, use only a supported PCI video adapter and
driver as the primary video adapter. To determine if your primary video
adapter and driver are supported for use with a multiple-monitor
configuration, view the Display.txt file located in the Windows folder.
MORE INFORMATION
To use multiple monitors in Windows 98, you need a supported Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI) or Accelerated Graphic Port (AGP) video
adapter for each monitor that is connected to your computer. Using an
unsupported PCI video adapter as the primary video adapter may work, but
you may experience video problems.
For additional information about using multiple monitors in Windows 98,
click Start, click Help, click the Index tab, type multiple,
and then double-click the "Multiple Display Support"
topic.
