Just installed a dual head 7000 on someone's PC with 98se, it's a dvi and analog rgb output. The cursor seems to have gone nutso ever since then. It starts out fine after a boot but will turn into the cursor with the hour glass after a few windows are opened and closed. When dragging a window to the second screen and then dragging the same window back to the primary monitor it will turn into the resize the window double arrow and stay that way. I've tried shutting down everything via ctrl-alt-delete and itstays the same, I've tried msconfig to disable all and some of the ati stuff. It's annoying as can be. Anyone have similar issues. I tried the ati site but that certainly wasn't any help.

im using cat 3.2, and i saw 3.3 was skipped and going straight to 3.4 but you might have better luck using XP if ur willing to switch OS

not my PC, and it's an old Gateway Performence 500 so I wonder if the hardware would make it. They would probably buy a new PC before they bothered upgrading the os. I just checked the site and I installed the cat 3.2 drivers yesterday, the 414 I remembered was the version number.
