Problems with cursor position

[chronozphere]

Okay... i'am very tired but before i go to bed, i'll post this. :fuzzy:

I have a few problems with my cursor's position.
I use DirectInput to retrieve the position changes since it doesn't return the positon in absolute screen coordinates.
When i initialize my game i set the cursor to (0,0). (that's just for testing, will change in the future) .

When i start moving my cursor slowly to the right of the screen, everything's fine and coordinates are looking normal.
But when i move back to the top-left of the screen the coordinates are just not right. apparently There is a small deviation.

When i move my cursor very fast, i can get it to the right side of the screen with an X coord lower than 750 while my resolution is 1024x768. :?

Can anyone explain this?? should i use DXInput to calculate the screen coordinates of the mouse or should i call GetCursorPos very game-loop?? I think it's neater to do it with DX, but it doesn't work good, right now.

Can someone give me a hint on this

Thnx very much.

oohh my GODD... the bugz have sabotaged my cursor :twisted:
Now i cant kill them anymore.... :eh: :x

I just wonder whether this is the right way to update your cursor position. Should i do it like this.??
