My mouse pointer is stuck on one screen of a dual monitor set up.

I recently did a fresh install of lion on my mac, the dual monitors were working on Snow Leopard, but no longer.


Whilst I can see both screens, I cannot move my mouse from one to the other. Nor can I drag windows across the screens.


Help!

have you tried all the edges? you may need to reconfigure your monitors arrangement. to do so go to system preferences displays and then choose arrangement. Then you'll be able to see how the computer thinks you have them and adjust it to the way you want them. Make sure you dont have mirroring on as well (being thorough).


Hope this helps you.
