# TSG: Pointer stuck in corner of the screen

## Overview

Normally the pointer should follow the movement of the pen. However, sometimes it gets stuck in the corner of the screen. Usually I have seen this in the upper-left-hand corner, but it could happen elsewhere.

It's unclear what causes this problem.

## Basic things to try

Sometimes this clears up the problem.

* Restarting the computer
* Testing with another computer.
* Reinstalling the driver
* Installing the latest version of the driver.

## Other things to try

* Temporarily change the active area to only a portion of its default size. Then change it back to use a larger area on the tablet.
  * 7P: This worked for me once
* Change the resolution of your screen to a smaller resolution then back to the original resolution.
* If you are using more than one monitor, switch between extend and duplicate modes for the desktop.
* If you are using Microsoft Windows, try [DIAG: Testing with Windows PNP drawing tablet drivers](/drawtab/troubleshoot/diag-windows-pnp-tablet-drivers.md) to see if the problem happens in that case.
* If you have a pen display, it likely has a calibration feature. Start and complete the calibration process to see if that addresses the issue.

## If nothing works

Then do not hesitate to contact support.
