Mouse and dual-monitors.

I just got my dual-monitor set up, so I was wondering how one can lock in the mouse cursor to only one screen. I need this for my tablet. Thanks in advance.

You can setup a hotkey (mine is f8) which will lock it in a monitor...you can have it so it locks it on the primary, or secondary, or current monitor (I have mine set to f8 on current). It's a must for games like civ 4 to be able to lock it in place.

There might be a free program, but ultramon is worth the 20 bucks anyway (the addition of a second taskbar on the other monitor, and other awesome features). It's freeware, so you ahve 30 days to use it

ajrettke is right. UltraMon will do the trick, and it's worth owning anyways because of the additional features it gives you (the secondary taskbar is worth the $$ alone).

Thanks. I'll look into it.

Ok... well, it didn't solve the tablet problem. Even when restricted to one monitor, I can only use restricted parts of the Wacom tablet.

On my system, I right click on desk top and nView pops up and you can do all kinds of thing including the mouse. Hope this helps
