Talking duel monitors and mouse
Ok i am running win 7 with duel monitors and a nvidia gtx 260 card :)

What my problem is , Is when i go to move my mouse cursor over to the second monitor i have to go all the way to the left then into the second monitor .

What i want to do is just slide the cursor from the middle of the monitors.
Ie: i am on left monitor and want to move cursor to the right monitor going to the right , and then move cursor to the left back to the left monitor .
Any ideals?

I think that like, when you go to the control panel place where you see two monitor (1 and 2) you have to click and drag one of them to the other side and it fixes it. Also you must adjust the liek priority thing that lets you chose which is your main one.

Shayan288 is absolutely right! I have had the exact same issue. Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display > Adjust Screen Resolution

I'll have to check to see if that works since the cat drivers work off of monitors rather than port. I'm not saying it wouldn't work, but I'm not positive. :)

unless you go up to 30" then single is acceptable.
