MORE INFORMATION

Some Windows-based games have a playing field that can be scrolled or navigated through by moving the mouse pointer toward the edge of the screen. If there is no secondary monitor, the mouse pointer stops at the edge of the screen when it is used to navigate around a playing field. If a secondary monitor is added, you may inadvertently overshoot the edge of the screen moving the mouse pointer to the secondary monitor, causing the issue to occur.
