Tech Help need some help with a dual monitor question

[DayTrdr]

Can't seem to come across anything on google to help with this.

Running two screens both connected to my gfx card.

one screen has my games running in full screen, the other has team speak or a web browser up. Anyway I can get my cursor to my second screen without alt-tab?


Your help is appreciated.

You'll want to run games in a borderless fullscreen window to achieve this. Usually when you use the ESC menu in most games and have it in that mode it will let you cross over, or alt tab without minimizing the game.

This is annoying and happens to me all the time, as well as probably a lot of people. Your best bet is to download a program that will lock your cursor to a particular monitor. I use one and have a hotkey bound for fast toggling.

Thanks! Any hints on the name of what you use?

It's just called Lock Mouse Cursor. I Google'd it and went through a few programs before I found the one I liked. I couldn't tell you where I got it from, though.

Even with programs like that, if you are running in fullscreen you're unfortunately stuck.... as soon as you click on another window or an item takes focus out side the game, your game will automatically come out of fullscreen mode.
