Mouse trouble (solved: Turned off multimonitor)

Postby skull13 » Fri Sep 19, 2008 9:40 pm

My mouse always stays in the middle of the screen. How do I fix this?

EDIT: Ah, it was my second screen that caused the problem.

My dualscreen setup works perfectly with MW. I'm using XP with an Nvidia 7600 GT and latest stable video drivers.

Strange, Multiwinia works absolutely perfectly on my multi-monitor setup. Alt-tabbing to a window on the other screen doesn't minimise the game, so I can still see what's going on while I type in IRC, MSN etc. and the mouse stays where it should while I'm ingame.

Care to post a dxdiag?

1)'Start' windows button
2)'Run ...' or the search bar in Vista
3)Type 'dxdiag.exe' in the 'Open' textbox and press the 'Ok' button
4)Once the 'dxdiag.exe' dialog is up, click the 'Save All Information ...' button.
5)Choose a destination for the file (ie: your desktop) and a name for the file (ie: 'dxdiag_info.txt')
6)Post the content of the file here.

same for me: with 2 monitors the mouse stucks / moves jumpy, which makes it quit hard to play the game :-/

deactivating the second monitor fixes it. but i would love to see it patched, 'cause - unlike skull13 - i use it every time and tuning it off and on is quite annoying.

bug is still in the game - PLEASE FIX THIS - game is unplayable this way :-/

also the course can go out of the game on the second monitor which may be part of the problem
