I got one of my monitor plugged with my pc using HDMI and the other monitor plugged in with DVI.

At the moment they are set so that when i move my cursor from left to right it jumps from monitor 1 to 2.

But i want to set them so they do different works. I mean i use monitor 1 for watching movies and gaming and meanwhile monitor 2 is for multitasking or facebook and stuff.

How can i do it from the nvidia control panel ?

GPU is gtx570.

If the game is in full screen it'll alt tab if you click on another window. Most games will lock the cursor in the game so you won't click out of it.

disable the "confine mouse cursor" in game and the mouse will move freely.
