Cursor changes on middle monitor ?

    Greetings, I am using a Radeon 5770 card and am using three monitors from it. Left and right are res 1920x1200 but the middle is a 1920x1080 (HD TV (Vizio 37inch razor)). For unknown reasons the cursor will change on the middle monitor to a line or a block or lines but when I move it to the other windows it reverts back to an arrow shape. The only way to get it to revert back to an arrow cursor on the middle monitor is to reboot.

    Does anyone know how to fix this? It happens at random. I'm sure it has something to do with the res difference but I don't see a way around it as all monitors are at native res. Is there a software fix that would allow me to reset the cursor? I tried changing the mouse to different settings in the control panel but I keep getting the bad cursor on my middle monitor.

    Thanx for any and all help. ))
    Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all.

    As you can see, already over 100 views of your topic, but no suggestions.

    I don't have much to say either. An intermittent/random problem like this will be very hard to 'fix'.

    Only suggestion I have is to make sure you are using the latest drivers, and try playing with the graphic acceleration ('dialing' it down a bit).

    Yeah real pita

    I have only had this problem since I started using three monitors and as the problem only exists on the middle (1920x1080) monitor I'm inclined to believe it is video card/monitor specific. But it is an intermittent problem which further aggravates the situation. So thanx for looking. Hopefully someone will stumble onto this thread in the future and will be able to offer a hope. Thanx again.
