Hello. I just hooked up 2 older 17" monitors to my system that has dual 22" widescreens-- I got some cheap mounts from monoprice.com(about $13/ea), and put them above(yes, the height is off a bit-- didn't realize the mount spots were different on the monitors until it was too late-- I figured VESA would have standardized that too, but they just standardized the screw holes...). Here's a pic:

The logical way to use this, is arrange it in Windows XP to be in a square, as they are physically-- move the mouse in the direction you want to go to each monitor. The problem with this, is I have my taskbar on the top of my main monitor, and I have it set to auto-hide. So, when I try to move my mouse to it to make it appear, it goes to the top monitor instead... What would be ideal for me, would be a 'dead zone' of about 50 pixels at the top of the lower monitors before the cursor moves to the upper monitors... I did a search of utilities for multiple monitors and I can't find anything. Maybe I could find a way to do this myself with some programming, but I think it's unlikely-- I'd probably have to hook into the mouse driver somehow... Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions/comments? Thanks. -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
