            Hello all, In Windows 7, when using a multi monitor set up, and each monitor has different resolutions, you will notice that when you move the mouse from the smallest monitor to the biggest one it always works well, but when you do it in the other way, from the big one to the small one, some times it fails. Let me explain, assuming that the top of the display is the vertical coordinate 0, if you have the mouse pointer in a vertical position bigger than the maximum resolution of the smaller display the mouse cursor will "collide" to an invisible wall. Is there any way to avoid that? (apart of course than using two monitors of the exact resolution or to set both monitors to the same resolution). As probably my explanation won't be the best one you will have seen, here you can read more about it: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/34796-63-dual-monitors-resolutions-sizes[^] Any idea? My configuration is: - Laptop with 1280x800 resolution and one analog display with 1920x1080 resolution. - Windows 7. - ATI Catalyst control center with a Radeon mobility HD 3650 graphics card. PS: It is not ultra annoying it is something like when the mouse cable gets trapped and you can't move where you want... yes, it is ultra-annoying.

            Simples. Before moving your cursor from he bigger monitor to the smaller one, position your cursor within the co-ordinates of the smaller monitor and then move the cursor. ;-)

                    That wall should be there; one screen is essentially larger than the other, so the behaviour is correct. It'd also become very confusing if Windows tried to guess where you'd want your mouse to be. The only way to get rid of it is by having the same resolution on both screens.

                      Well, of course I understand why it is there :-D. When using Mouse without borders in the office with my main computer together with my laptop this is not happening and resolutions of both devices are completely different. This could be implemented and it would improve the experience in most of the situations as there are really not much applications that are using the first pixel of the display, typically there are margins around that would avoid the mess to happen. I've been wondering if anyone has developed that already...
