Odd Dual-screen problem.

[miskie]

Well, the topic says it all, really. When I set GameEx to run on the secondary monitor, it moves there as it should, but the mouse pointer stays on the primary monitor. I need to keep the pointer on the primary to control the secondary - which is odd. This issue only affects GameEx - everything else seems to run fine, with the pointer in the right place.

Thanks for your time.

What happens if you switch which monitor is primary?

Same problem but on the other monitor - gameex shows on one monitor, the mouse pointer on the other, and when I move the mouse on the other monitor, the GameEx menu responds as if the mouse is on the proper monitor.

The problem is not a GameEx problem but a Windows problem. Windows defaults the mouse cursor location to the active (primary) monitor. You may want to look at Multi-Monitor Mouse (M3) which is a freeware app that should allow you to setup your mouse behaviors and a default monitor for the mouse cursor location.

Sadly, M3 didn't help - the problem isn't the mouse pointer defaulting to the wrong screen, the problem is the mouse pointer must be on the wrong screen to control the right screen. Well, I decided to ignore the problem for now, by converting to arcade controls instead of mouse.
