    Not sure whether to put this under gaming or what, but...

    I have my notebook hooked up to a second monitor, using my go force 7600. Im pretty much just using the second monitor to keep my instant messaging stuff up. The settings I have right now make it so when you move your cursor to the far right of the notebook screen the cursor appears on the second monitor.

    Problem is, when I'm playing a game it doesn't let me move the mouse like that. It never appears on the second screen.

    Anyone know what i can do so I can change between monitors while im gaming?

    Make sure the game is displayed in "windows mode," perhaps? Try that, see what it does.
