Overnight, the problem simply went away. How weird is that? (Rebooting hadn't fixed it). I was all set to reinstall the graphics drivers.

I did manage to set it back, but the problem persists. I'd also been playing with scaling for the first time. I find I can connect without problems to other machines on the same subnet (I set up a further port-forwarding on the router) without problems. I can "daisy-chain" a further session to access machine C from machine B without any problems, but machine A is still weird. If I connect to machine B and run a further VNC session to machine A the problem is evident on A but not B, just as if I'd connected directly. If I connect as I've always done to machine A, and then daisy-chain another session onto machine C, the weirdness affects both sessions. It does seem to be a problem with machine A. I've rebooted machine A, and the router, and my machine, and my router - problem persists. Advice greatly appreciated. My machine is XP; machine A runs Win2K, B runs Win2K and C runs XP.

Nothing has changed that I'm aware of, except that the pointer doesn't seem to be in the right place. I can't click on things, and I've just noticed that when I move the mouse I get the familiar dot and also a flickering pointer some distance away on the screen. There is an offset of (say) 300 pixels. What could be doing this, and how can I fix it?
