Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Cursor not available in monitor 2

I just bought my second monitor and love the way your program make using duel monitors easy. I just have one question. I use a program in monitor 2 while playing Battlefield 2 on monitor 1. The problem is that the hot key I use to switch the cursor between monitor does not work in game. Is there another way to switch the cursor so that I can use the open program in 2?

Not really. This is a common issue with games, controls like this really depend upon the game in question.

In general the only solution that works with virtually all games is to run the game in windowed mode and then adjust the screen so that none of the windows bordaers can be seen. This gives it the effect of looking like a full screen game but it also allows the mouse to function normally on the other screen without disturbing your game.

The thing is this can take a bit to setup as you'd have to first set the game up in windowed mode (which many times requires editing it's config files) then you must setup ultramon to move the window once it's started to make it look full screen. After all that, you'd most likely have to set a hotkey to lock/unlock the mouse from the game window when you want to use the other monitor.
