Mouse hover is not where the mouse actually is

[BT]

My mouse does not seem to be where it is actually visible. For instance when
I want to close a program window I have to move around the x to close the
program but am not acutally over the button. The accuracy of the pointer is
out by half an inch. When I go into the control panel and select the mouse
there is not option to calibrate the mouse. Any suggestion on how to get my
mouse pointer to be more accurate

You might have the wrong screen resolution. Say you have a widescreen,
typically 1280 x 800, the current setting might be 1280 x 1024, or even
1024 x 768.

I had this problem with a dell XPS 420 and ATI graphics card running vista.
There was a update to the ATI driver for the graphics card. This cured the
problem. Do you have a Windows update icon on your start menu. This is
where I found the update

having the same problems.

actually where the mouse is, is there a way to re calibrate it or
anything i can download to fix it?
if i change back to default its fine, when i change it to my own its
about half an inch off.

Using whatever SW you used to create your cursor adjust the pointing
reference of the cursor to be in the appropriate place in the graphic
of the cursor.
