1370884 2014-03-21 08:01:00 I have added a second monitor and it works quite well, except when using the mouse, the mouse symbol on screen always
wants it to move to the left edge of the screen and will then appear from the right side of the second screen.

Surely there must be some way where the mouse symbol will go to the right edge of the master screen and then continue
to move into the second monitor. Hope this is understandable :-)

Anyway... any ideas, as it is crazy as it is.

1370888 2014-03-21 08:55:00 From memory - open Display properties (where you change the screen resolution), and drag around the two monitors shown onscreen to suit. :) pcuser42 (130)

Yeah done that, my prime monitor, 1, is shown as the master monitor and to the right of that is a smaller monitor, shown as monitor 2, yet the mouse arrow will only go to the left of the screen and will popup on monitor 2 on the right edge of monitor 2's screen.

Yeah, the arrow/cursor is it, and yes a NVidia video card.

If you click Identify, what numbers do the monitors show?

The main monitor, identified as number 1, the second monitor is ident as number 2, though that I
covered in a previous post.
