i recently upgraded from windows me to windows xp operating system. after a day or so of using xp i noticed that on the desktop my mouse could scroll to the right rather far and it would take a bit for it to return into view (by "to the right rather far" i mean off the screen) i took a screen shot of my desktop and sure enough, there was a mirror of the desktop i normally see minus the icons to the right of the "regular" desktop. this is rather annoying and i was wondering if anyone could help me with my problem. also, when i move my mouse to the left it stops like it's supposed to. the little buttons on the front of my monitor also are no help as the screen is set to where that would not be a factor.
