I just set up my new PC with dual monitors so that I can view Media Center on
one screen, while continuing to use the computer on the other screen.
Everything works great, except when I start Media Center it won't let me move
the mouse back to my primary screen. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

Try pressing Alt+Tab or the Windows key. I had the same issue, one of those
combinations will switch the mouse out of MC. Hope this helps.

I asked about this a few weeks back, unfortunatley, there's nothing you
can do about that except for using the alt-tab command... Sad

The most effective work around is to press the windows key.

It releases the mouse to move to any visable screen without calling another
program.

NB I always open a blank internet page in the background, after doingd this,
so that if you close a screen, the control doesn't go back to the Media
Centre.

In my opinion, Microsoft should develop a patch to allow a startup parameter
that disables the full screen mouse lock.
