Just to be extra sure about this. Is it really not possiable to use 2 mouses on same machine?? I know the answer is 'no' but just to make sure. And because it would be really intersting to make games that uses 2 mouses to play :P

It's certainly possible, Rag Doll Kung Fu uses, IIRC, up to 8 mice for single-machine multiplayer.

If you are using directInput you can just enumerate the devices, creating two instead of one.

You can also use the excellent Manymouse, which is much cleaner and more portable.

There's a guy here who is into dual-mouse gaming. If only I could remember his handle...
