Mouse going to other screen in games

Inazuma · 13 Oct 2008 at 11:17

Hey
I have a dual monitor set-up. Most games work fine with it; however there are some that play up; ie. my mouse is able to move to the second monitor outside the game window. This can be quite annoying and immersion ruining. Is there any fix for this? At the moment, it's mainly Age of Mythology that gives me the problem.

Edit: I use Ultramon and Nvidia Dualview.

Can't you set it to 'mirror mode' when gaming, then turn the other monitor off?

I also get it from time to time with TF2, yet with CS:S I don't get it at all! Weird, I'd like a fix also.

I just turn off the 2nd monitor usually - just set a hotkey to do it (I use ctrl+shift+z) and then I can switch it on and off at will without much faff.

Well for now I'm just working around it. In the shortcut properties you can set some Ultramon commands; I've set it to disable the secondary monitor when the game launches and to re-enable it when it closes.

I have the same problem with spore, although never had it with tf2
