Has anyone noticed an anomoly with GW in windowed mode on Dual monitors? I have Guild wars set to windowed mode on my "main" monitor (deisgnated under display properties in Windows 7) and my 2nd monitor has PvX and Wiki up at all times (aka web browser). I find that when i right-click some times to move my camera (which is a HELL of a lot) that the game will not register the right-click, but Win7 does...and it shoves the mouse to my 2nd monitor (right one).

So often I find my mouse zooming to my 2nd monitor while my character just stands there like and ass because my cursor is now not even in the game, let alone on the same monitor.

I have the latest graphics drivers, mouse drivers....all drivers and this is a problem pretty much since I got dual monitors.

I even have a similar problem in full-screen mode; I'll right-click and the game wont register it at random times, so my camera wont move, but the cursor wont fly off cause im in full screen mode.

So, is my mouse just ready to hit the bone yard or is this a Windows7 + GW problem?

EDIT: I have a RAZER Deathadder mouse if that clears anything up for anybody.

I have Windows 7 and GW on dual monitors. I keep it in windowed with wiki up too, and I also right click a lot, but I've never had that problem. I have some cheap logitech mouse.

Not sure what to tell ya :/

Yes i have windows 7 with gw on dual monitors and that happens occasionally, its not enough to make me get pissed off so i deal with it. Unfortunatly i also have a razer deathadder so it could be that.

you know what would be good? having your compass, minimap, chat, ventrilo and stuff like that enlarged on your secondary monitor and play on the primary one with more space

I'm running Windows 7 dual monitor, and have never had an issue like that. It's most likely something to do with the Razer.

I can't see where the brand of mouse would be the problem, unless it has to do with a 'mouse driver'. If you did install a mouse driver, uninstall it and try that (the mouse should still work on Win7's driver.)
Also check if there is some setting in Win7 (or Razer software) that detects a right-click (or double right-click or ctrl right-click, etc.) as a "switch window" or "switch display" function. I include "double right click" because sometimes the micro-switches in mice become 'bouncy' with age and a single click can be read as a double click (which is more apparent if it's the left button).

Uninstalled the driver, problem still exists. Also, my GW client has been crashing a lot lately. Im going to do an "-image" and revert my Deathadder's firmare to an older version becuse that might be the problem.

I've been running triple screen for the longest time and haven't had this problem with Window 7. Even when running with XP for a bit noting like this occurred. I'm using the Logitech MX500 mouse.

Guild Wars -image trick didnt do justice, however, I found out that in the Deathadder's drivers my right mouse button is set as "conext menu". There is no option to change it to "right-click".

I believe that is the problem.
