I'm not familiar with the Dual Monitor Tools which Mik T mentioned, but your description 
above is as VirtualRPC running on 2 monitors is supposed to work, i.e. with the (blue) 
RISC OS pointer running in full-screen mode, and with Windows displaying its desktop, 
task bar and applications displayed on the other monitor. *But* the (white) Windows 
pointer is AWOL...

So as you say, pressing <Alt-Enter> drops VirtualRPC into a Window - at which point 
the (white) Windows pointer is then displayed and can be moved around over both
monitor displays.    

In other words, there are supposed to be 2 blue/white pointers, controlled by a single 
mouse, and you need to press <Alt-Enter> to swap between them to control RISC OS
and Windows respectively. HTH.
