I have recently been having problems with my cursor 'drifting' in my additional monitors. I did update to Windows to 8.1 recently and could this be the culprit? I was wondering if others might be having similar issues and or suggestions!!!!!! Help :huh:

 

PS the pointer doesn't drift in other windows opened in these screens, only Softplan!

 

Thanks in advance,

Have you updated the mouse driver?

Also try using a different mouse (temporarily).  If the problem persists then you know the actual mouse isn't the issue.

I wanted to follow up and mention that the 'drifting' cursor seems to be fixed  :D

It ended up that in the Screen Settings I had to check off the: 'Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays'.

I thought it might be useful for others that use multiple monitors?

Thanks, TOM
