alignedproperly(youwillseeablackbaronasideoftheremotescreen,andpartoftheremotescreenwillnotbedisplayed),thelocal

and remote mouse pointers will not align. Try performing another Video Adjust to bring the screen into alignment. If this still does not work,

you will need to manually adjust the H. Offset and/or V. Offset settings in the Advancedscreentobringthescreenintoalignment.(Seethe
