    WinXP? an untameable bull?

    Alright, there are so many things that XP has a problem with, I am not sure why I run it. Maybe you guys can help with either one of these problems.

    Dual screens, would like the status bar to go across the bottom on both screens.
    Mouse lag when running 3D applications. Got a Logitech MX500.

              the mouse lag is probably because your computer is too slow, or your mousing surface is not uniformly acceptable to the mouse.

              i use the mx700... never any problems, except for the surface if i change it up, or the batteries die.

                              Outpost.com has a sweet little deal for anyone wanting to get their first mac, a Snow iMac for $499 shipped. Apple is selling a refurbished eMac G4 17" monitor for $749, if you can't afford computers at that price then you can't afford anything.

                                      2 possible reasons:

                                      - the 3D application is running slow (your graphics card isnt fast enough)

                                      - you have installed the logitech drivers.. if you did, remove them, do not install them again.. let windows notice the mouse.. and do not install the drivers on the windowsupdate site.. you will see a huge difference in scrolling and stuff..
