    I'm using three screens and I can't move my mouse between two of them.


    Hey guys.

    I've started using three screens because it helps when having more windows open to mix music. However, I've run into an odd snag in that I can't seem to move my mouse between two of the windows; instead, to get between the first and third screens, I have to travel through the second screen. Below is a picture of my display configuration. I can move my mouse between 3 and 2, as well as 2 and 1, but not 1 and 3. Note that I've found a little indicator for my problem:

    No matter how I play around with the display config, I can't get mouse movement between all three screens. Anyone else ever have an issue like this?

    I run three monitors, mine are all in one horizontal row. As long as the ID numbers match the physical location I'm fine.
    If I go to Settings > System > Display and click identify, I get 3, 1, 2, left to right showing on my monitors.
    I then set the settings window to match that.

    The only spot where my mouse is blocked is the little bit of the middle monitor that sticks up. If I try to mouse over from the very top corner it will hang on the middle monitor. Drop it down just a little and it goes across.

    So apparently my problem is partially due to what I described and partially due to sticky corners (**** you very much, Microsoft).

    Downloading DisplayFusion and using that to adjust the monitor orientation seemed to fix the problem I was having. Apparently Windows' default monitor organizer is just a piece of crud.

    I'm fine with the Windows setup Window. I almost never mouse over from the very top corners. If all three of my monitors were the same size it wouldn't happen. Anyway, use what ever works for you and makes you the most satisfied.
