Hi Grant, just a shot in the dark: The image looks to me as thos would be an analog instead of an digital problem. May be both propietary drivers switch to the highest possible data transfer rate and this triggers the problem. To check, whether this may be the problem: Instruct the driver to use either low resolution or low refresh rates. Check both. If the problem changes signifiently: Change the cables. May be only a pluf is not inserted correctly. Addtionally you can move the cables arround to see whether this will change the shadows around the cursor in any way... Good luck! :) Best regards mcc
