    Dual monitors

    I have Two monitors, my laptop is in front of me, the second is to the left of the laptop. the problem I have is that when I want to move the cursor to the left monitor screen, it stops at the left side of the laptop monitor and won't go further, but when
    I move the cursor to the right side of the laptop, it moves past the right side of the screen and appears on to the left monitor screen. this is obviously opposite of the direction I need the cursor to moving and is frustrating as times. I need a suggestion
    to solve this dilemma. I don't see a solution in the manual. Thank You

    How to define the active monitor depending on the position of the cursor on a dual screen ?

    Weird cursor problem on 1 monitor with dual screen(pictures available)


    hello,

    I have been using dual screen for a while now. But recently my mouse has been changing randomly on my second monitor. When I start my PC theres litterally no problem but after a while the cursor randomly changes to what you can see on the pictures below. I'm not using a custom cursor.
    The only difference between the 2 monitors is that one is connected with HDMI and 1 is connected with a DVI kable into a DVI to DP converter on the graphics card. The HDMI monitor is the one ruining it.

    (sorry for the bad picture quality, my cursor does not display on screenshots and I couldn't find how to change that)
