GTA3 screen not locked.

[[KFC]-ScharK]

I cannot play GTA3 itself or MTA. I use 2 monitors and when I move the mouse over to the other monitor (not knowing it) then I fire and it minimizes. Then I get people calling me a "n00b" for pausing when I can't really help it.

In VC the screen is locked, so is there a fix I can download to lock this screen? Or have to play with 1 monitor. *doesn't really want to give that monitor up while playing GTA3*

Play with one monitor basically. If you're in-game you should be playing, not reading websites or whatever you do on the other screen.

Yeah, but I hate shutting the other monitor off all the time, and since it's my brothers computer he hates it. Because he is always having to fix his desktop. And he wants 2 monitors on.

So why is VC locked and not GTA3? In the meantime I guess I will have to shut it off, the other monitor. Or just now play since my brother hates it.

Try this utility:

Wow, thanks.

[edit] It says the path is in-correct and I did it just like they said.

"C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTAIII\gta3.exe"

to:

"Mousejail.exeC:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTAIII\gta3.exe"

You probably need a space between: Mousejail.exe and C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTAIII\gta3.exe

"Mousejail.exe C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTAIII\gta3.exe"

get ultramon

then bind a hotkey for keeping the mouse on primary display, there is also many nice options for multi-monitors

That's probably better. MouseJail requires you to specify the exe file via command-line parameters, which'll work great for single player, but not when gta3.exe is being executed by MTA.

im a multimonitor user too

i tried to use mousejail too... you cant use it because of the way you launch it.

in the end i got ultramon, and bound CTRL + ALT + L to lock the mouse to primary monitor. press it again to turn it off.

if you use ultramon, you will want to enable a margin when you use the hotkey, or the mouse briefly flicks over to the 2nd mon, then back again. i use a margin of 100px, and my mouse doesnt go over even in the most heavy shootouts
