  2. Mouse does not move to other monitors from some areas of my primary monitor

    My primary laptop and my other 2 monitors are on different resolutions. The 2 and 3 monitors on the display setting window appear tinier than my primary monitor, and I'm guessing this is because of the resolution difference, and the way I arrange the other
    monitors determines the half of my primary laptop from which I can move the mouse between the monitors. For instance, if I set the 2 and 3 monitors to the right of the first monitor, on the upper half, then moving my mouse from the first laptop to the second
    monitor works only from the upper half of my laptop. Is there any way I can make my mouse move the 2nd monitor across my entire laptop screen? Also, is there any feature that enables me to move the mouse directly from the right corner of my 3rd monitor to
    the first laptop?

    Windows & desktop icons on secondary monitor are moved to primary monitor after standby

    I had been using 2 monitors with the same resolution (1280x1024) without issues. I recently replaced my primary monitor with a 1920x1080 monitor. Every time the system wakes up from standby everything from the secondary monitor is moved to the primary monitor.
    Strangely enough, the desktop icons and the windows (explorer & applications) are not always moved.

    I have already tried to delete corrupted registry entries as stated in
    this thread
    . There were 3 monitors listed with different resolutions. That did nothing.

    System specs:

    OS: Windows 7 pro (64-bit)

    Video card: AMD R7 260X

    primary monitor cable: DVI

    secondary monitor cable: DVI output -> VGA adaptor

    Laptop with 3 monitors flickers and moves everything to primary monitor

    The taskbar locked to bottom of secondary monitor moves to the primary monitor whenever primary monitor is switched on.

    See the title.

    I have the taskbar locked at the bottom of the secondary monitor so the primary monitor is completely empty for watching movies, games TV etc.

    Whenever I turn the primary monitor on, the taskbar immediately jumps from the bottom of the seconday monitor over to the bottom of the primary monitor. I then need to untick the 'Locked' option on the taskbar, drag it back to the secondary and tick 'Locked'
    again.

    The taskbar disrupts desktop icons on the primary and any application running on the primary monitor at the time and quite frustrating.

    Primary monitor is an Asus PB328, connected via Display Port to the PC.

    Secondary monitor is a Samsung 24 connected via DVI to the PC.

    I expect the taskbar to remain where I place it when locked, regardless of monitors been switched on or off.

    The sequence of turning on the primary and secondary monitors has no impact. As soon as the primary monitor (Asus on DP) is turned on, the locked taskbar moves to the primary display, regardless of whether the Samsung is on or not.
