I have an install of WinXP Pro with an AGP video card and a secondary
PCI video card. Everything works fine until I run a game that takes
over one of the video adapters. While the game has exclusive control of
an adapter, it seems to also have exclusive control of the mouse, so I
can't drag the mouse to the other monitor. Is this a common issue? Is
there a way around it? I'd really appreciate any help you can give me,
thanks.

Most games will only run on the primary video as configured in Windows.
