Default Multiple Monitor (different resolutions) cursor problem

My primary monitoris 1920x1200 (24" widescreen, Acer AL2416W). Secondary is
1280x1024 (19" reg, Dell 1905FP). Video card is a nVidia Quadro FX 360M
(Dell precision; Win XP SP3; DirectX 0.0c).

I have the desktop extended onto the secondary. When I use the secondary
monitor, the cursor is plain wrong: wrong image (and/or wrong location but
close) resulting in an unusable environment because you can't accurately
point. The pointer is an hour glass when it should be a pointer depending on
position, or it is a double-arrow when it should be a pointer, or a pointer
when it should be a double arrow, etc. It's as if it thinks it's one place
but the image/location is wrong: I can use the pointer, I just have to get it
in the right spot by guessing or trial and error.

FYI - When the secondary is used as the primary, everything works fine on
the smaller monitor.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
