Dual Monitors. How to Mouse out of full screen games without Alt + Tab

[Darkferal]

Hello.

I just got another monitor. Mostly so I can game on my primary monitor and look up on websites, chat, and watch video on my second monitor.

The only problem is that I want to be able to switch back and forth between the two monitors.
I don't want the game to be in windows mode because I may accidentally move my mouse out of the screen where my game is playing.

I tried the program Actual Multiple Monitors http://www.actualtools.com/multiplemonitors/ to help me switch back and forth. It only worked one way. I could use my hot key so my mouse could move from monitor 1 to monitor 2 without Alt + Tab, but when I tried to go back and push my hot key again it didn't work.

Does anyone have a solution or a tip to how I can use my two monitors and not use Alt + Tab?
Any suggestion is much appreciate. Also if it is help to the problem with Actual Multiple Monitors

What game?

Fixed window has always done the trick for me, most newer games support this now.
Depends on the game though, the mouse thing could still be a problem with fixed window in RTS games as the mouse scroll gets funny.

Well... alot of games.
Fallout 4.
WoW,
Overwatch
Diablo,
Call Of Duty, to just name a few.

Hmmm I never heard if fixed window, but I can see alot of search result when I google it.
I'll try that and come back.

Ok I solved my problem.
Someone in another website said he used this program called Dual Monitor Tools.
It lets med lock my cursor to the primary monitor, and when I need to go to the second monitor i just hit a hotkey (ctrl + I ) and my cursor is now moved to the second monitor.

All I then need to do is to make all my games window fullscreen to prevent my games to minimize like when i press alt + tab.

I have a question. I also have tried Actual Multiple Monitors for playing on one screen, browsing, etc on the other. It worked great the first time - thought I had solved my issues.... However, next time I played the game all my issues are back. If I try to minimize the game, use the second screen while the game is up, or even try to log off the game normally, both screens go totally black. (sound is still on, just absolutely black screens) The only way I've found to return my screens is a hard boot (holding the power button on the pc tower until it turns off). This CAN'T be good for the comp!
I even tried unplugging the second monitor so that I was back to one only, and still have the blackout problems.
Any suggestions?
