I'm wondering if there is any method to keeping the mouse cursor within a windowed game, lets take Starcraft 2 for example. I only have one screen and like to play games in windowed mode so I can watch shows/movies right next to it. In a game like SC2, moving the mouse to the border of the...

I see, thanks everyone for the quick and helpful replies.

Too much video RAM eats away at the available RAM in a 32-bit OS?

It's the system in my "System Specs" thing on my profile here, but XP 32 bit, not Windows 7 64-bit. For the record, everything was fine with all sticks of RAM earlier in the day when I was still using Windows 7 64-Bit. Edit: Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing:

I know that 32-bit operating systems can only detect up to 4GB and tend to show a little less because some gets reserved for other things, but I installed 32-bit XP on a system with 8GB of RAM, and the General tab of System Properties says I only have 1.91GB, and I see something similar in Task...

I figured out what was causing it, in the Pointer Options tab, "Enhance pointer precision" was checked, unchecking it made it much better and felt the same as Windows 7.

I switched back to Windows XP from Windows 7 recently for a few reasons, I'm having trouble with the mouse cursor though and find it doesn't move exactly the same as it does in Windows 7. It's a little hard to describe, but in Windows 7 I felt like it took less effort to move the cursor around...

That's disappointing to here, any idea what might be causing this problem out of the blue? Everything has been pretty much fine up until tonight, no other problems that I can see. As far as the game goes, I play almost everyday and it's been fine and nothing has changed, and no other players...

I've been having issues with a game I'm playing, League of Legends, the FPS is dropping randomly in game and I noticed through MSI Afterburner that my core and memory clocks are dropping and fluctuating. I would prefer the clocks stay fixed at 630/1728 respectively (GTX 590) to see if that fixes...

I only installed Windows on 1 of the 2 Corsair drives after getting rid of the RAID 0, I should have tried it on the other but I skipped that and installed it on the Intel one I mentioned. I may have been overstating the fact I think there's a problem. It's extremely minor and something I've...

I had 2 64GB Corsair SSDs in a RAID 0 array while this was happening. I didn't know what the problem was so I tried dissolving the array and reinstalling Windows again on 1 of the SSD's. It crashed yet again, what I ended up doing was taking both of them out and putting an older Intel SSD I...

I have a relatively new PC I built myself about a year ago that's never really had any kinds of issues. It has an i5 2500k not overclocked and the temperatures are fine idle and under load, I have a GTX 590 also never overclocked using the latest non-beta drivers on Windows 7 64 bit. About a...

I'm in a relationship with someone who has to go back to school very soon and we're not going to see each other for a few months. There's a lot of shows coming out this Fall we both like and we tried using Skype screen sharing to watch a show together, but it doesn't really work that well. I...

I'm reinstalling a laptop for someone and I'm not sure what software was on it before to play blurays. Can anyone recommend the top programs? Thanks.

I hope no one minds me posting a cell phone related question here, I have a couple of annoying people who keep trying to message me through Gmail's chat. In my browser on my PC I go to Settings - Chat and have it set to Chat off. I never get messages while on my PC, but on my phone, these people...
