dual screen problem

[darkxknight]

i just put up 2 dual screens with my second monitor being a 19" CRT and my main being a 19" widescreen. now heres the problem, when i play games and my main screen goes to full screen, is there ANY way to move the mouse cursor on the second screen without alt tabbing?

example: for those who use VMware, you have the desktop and the VMware desktop, you can press ctrl+alt to move the mouse outside of VMware.

help please!

If you game in a window, than you can just move it over.

If you're gaming full screen, then, in essence, your shelling into that program exclusively and your controls are stuck in that program, so to speak, unless you Alt+tab or exit the application. (I've had dual screens about 8 years now)

Depends on a game. In RTCW:ET I usually press "windows key" which effectively frees cursor from game control. Same trick works with HL2 games which effectively minimize. It may not work with other games however.

there HAS to be a way to do this. i don't game in a window, i game fullscreen.

If I remember correctly, when I had dual monitors the mouse was free to move over both in a number or strategy games but not first person shooters. I'd say it depends on the game.
