2 mouse pointers. I 've always had two on this machine Jun 10, 2011

I recently upgraded my computer and since the video card has dual outputs, I decided to keep my old monitor in addition to the new LCD device in order to take advantage of the "extended desktop" available under Windows XP Pro. It's certainly convenient having my work on one monitor and reference docs on the other, but having only one mouse pointer for scrolling / working is less than optimal. Plugging in a second mouse doesn't solve the problem.

Does anyone know of a utility/hack that will allow me to use 2 mice at the same time? Elsewhere someone suggested networking 2 computers, but space is very limited, and I'd rather not do that if possible.

All suggestions welcome.
Thanks, Kevin

Settlers II can do it even in DosBox Nov 28, 2011

A game for DOS, Settlers II used supported two mouses, so it is possible, but maybe not under Windows?

It's seems to work in DosBOx:
