Did something change in Win7 Media Centre??

EyepodI · 1 Sep 2012 at 16:16

I run two screens and often will have Media Centre TV running on one monitor whilst doing something else on the other screen.

Previously if Media Centre was full screen on the second monitor the mouse would be trapped on that screen. The only solution was to run Media Centre in a window in order to allow access to the first screen.

Today I have noticed this is no longer the case. I can happily run Media Centre full screen and move the mouse across both screens.

Anyone else notice this? When did this happen?

still the same as before on mine, i remember trying a program called the maxifier that solved this but nothing has changed with MCE

Hmmn very odd. It was behaving like this until this morning and now reverted to its old behaviour of hijacking the mouse when in full screen.

Been like it forever.

Alt Tab so annoying. Wish they would fix it.
