Mouse pointer won't stay in Skyrim dual monitors

[wats6831]

I just got back from vacation, haven't changed anything. Now when I run Skyrim either in Windowed or full screen on my left monitor and look to the right with my mouse, my pointer just goes over into my other monitor. Before, my mouse would be bound to the Skyrim "window" either in full screen or windowed mode. I can also go down and bring up the taskbar. This wasn't happening before. I tried disabling mouse acceleration, updating mouse drivers, switching between windowed and full screen, disabling Aero. Nothing seems to work. When I try to look to the right and click, it just clicks me out of skyrim and minimizes it and I have to Alt+Tab to get back in, but I can mouse back to the left and skyrim picks it up as I swing through lol.

 

I added SKSE and Skyrim Accerlation Layer yesterday but I'm not sure if it could be causing this.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've seen this mentioned by numerous people on Reddit so I know I'm not the only one that's having this problem. What's so strange is that it's been working fine for over a month.

I've run into that problem to and it drives me crazy.

 

What I do now, is I start the game with a shortcut on the screen I'm going to be playing it on, and I don't touch the mouse until

the menu shows up where I can click continue etc, because sometimes I think, by moving the mouse around while the game is loading, the game never really gets "focus"

of the mouse.

 

Anyway, you can try that and see if it works out.,

I've tried that. It doesn't matter what I'm doing the mouse goes flying off into the other monitor.

Bring up the game in Windowed mode, move the Skyrim window into the screen you want to play it in full screen later, then using the mouse EXIT Skrim.

 

Switch Skyrim back to full screen mode, and your problem is gone.

Thanks for the help but that doesn't work. In windowed mode there is no border or way to drag it. It's already in the monitor I want to use anyway and always has been. Using keyboard shortcuts to bring up the window menu shows it already maximized (maximize is greyed out). Worth the shot though. Thanks. I know exactly what you mean, i do with EVE all the time.

Did you ever figure this issue out? I am having the exact same issue right now. I lose focus and it minimizes the game on me whilst acting like I clicked on someone in the other monitor. This problem literally just started recently and had been working prior.

Update: I found I was having this issue due to Raptr running. It was automatically installed with an ATI update. Once I disabled this the mouse losing focus issue went away.
