3 monitor setup mouse cursor problem

[branskyj]

Hi all,
not sure if this is normal or it's a Windows 7 issue but here goes:
I recently bought a third monitor for my workstation PC. Now I have 2 sizes monitors (2x 24" and 1x27") and three different resolutions (1920x1080, 1920x1200 and 2560x1440).
When I move my mouse cursor from one monitor to another it gets snapped to the vertical border of my monitors and it doesn't always move to the next monitor without a fight. Sometimes I have to try several times and then it works. It's getting really annoying.
Any remedy?

Thanks a lot.

I run two monitors with Win7 and I occasionally see the same thing happen. It usually (or maybe always) happens after I ALT-TAB out of a full-screen program such as a game. My "fix" is to click on a blank spot on the background. So far it has always worked. My best guess is that the mouse driver (or display driver, or Windows) still thinks the full-screen application has focus.

I don't have a more permanent solution.

I Googled the problem and most threads were not about Windows but about Linux. There is a third party software which manages the mouse cursor but I am not installing it anyway. Oh well, I know Windows 8 has better support for multi-monitor setups and maybe will switch soon.

Thanks for the reply.
