bart of borg Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 First, spec's:Intel quad core 2.4 ghz6 gig pc-6400 DDR2Asus P5N-DGeForce 280GTXDual 24" Acer monitorsWin vista x64 UltimateGeForce 180.48 drivers (latest)I have an annoying issue with being unable to move my windows around to any point on either screen that i want to place them at....i drag then to the location I desire and let go of the mouse button and the window will snap to a random area, nowhere near where I wanted it. If i move the windows about an inch at a time i can get them to place properly but that is very annoying...any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart of borg Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 addendum - I've tried rolling back to older drivers but nothing seems to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 What happens when you're using the basic/classic interface? If it only happens under aero, then it's a driver draw issue.Note that I also see this when people have multi-mon setups, but have one (or more) monitors with negative pixel information (pixel 0,0 should be assigned to the leftmost-monitor in the setup). It is pretty rare, but I've seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Try going to control panel -> mouse properties -> pointer options tab and untick the box under "Snap To" and see if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bart of borg Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sorry...i wasn't clear - I tried the classic settings and it still does it, I was looking for the pixel setting (0,0)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knowitall_wannabe Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Saw that happen on a buddy's Dell a couple months ago and last November ATI produced an updated driver for his laptop fixing the problem. I would guess the claims on the driver would be the case. Note I say "guess would be the case", not downright gospel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart of borg Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Thx but, i don't think ati driver issues are germane to a geforce system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
