Windows Media Center mouse problem

[Billy]

I'm running WMC on a duel monitor system the problem is, if I run WMC in
full screen mode then I can't move the mouse cursor to the other monitor.
It gets locked in the WMC screen.
It doesn't do this with windows media player or Power DVD which both can run
in full screen and the mouse cursor can move between monitors with no
problems.
Does anyone know of a fix for this ?

System is running Vista Ultimate.
Video card is Nvidia GeForce 7600GT
Monitor 1 = Belinea 17" LCD
Monitor 2 = Analogue TV
Mouse = optical USB

Unfortunatly, I've been trying to find out about this for some time,
and it seems that your system isn't broken, more this behavious seems
to be 'by design', the way microsoft intended.

It is possible to ALT+TAB and get control back on the primary monitor,
but if you do this the remote probobly won't work as it sends signals
to the active window, also windows will keep trying to put focus back
on media center if it gets the chance.

Hopefully if microsoft realise how many people this is annoying
they'll make some kind of patch to modify it!

I HOPE SO TOO!!!

Not everyone wants to be locked into MCE, I know with dual monitors I
dont, even when I was projecting on the big screen.
