If you mean having multiple mouse cursors on-screen at once, such as to allow two people to use a system simultaneously, or to use a separate mouse and cursor for each screen, there is third-party software for that. I haven't messed with it much though, so I couldn't tell you how well it works.

MouseMux is a newer utility still in beta that appears to provide similar functionality, and the beta version can be used for free without any time limit (for non-commercial use). It sounds like it might offer some improvements over TeamPlayer with its "multiplex" mode, though it is still in beta, and might potentially have issues with some software.

I look into those programs. Thanks.

I mean for 1user to be able to operate one mouse on one screen, while the other user uses the other mouse on another screen?
