Problem with multiple monitors

I've been asking this question in game, and people keep giving me similar advice, but for some reason it doesn't work. Here's the problem:

I have two monitors, and the game plays in my main monitor, and the other one is not a part of the game. Yet, CONSTANTLY, I'm in the middle of battle and hit some edge of a screen and the game immediately jumps out of my main screen, opens up some file on my computer, and I end up having to exit out of things while I'm in the middle of a fight. Kind of annoying.

I need to be able to play this in one screen and not be shoved out of the game every time I accidentally come close to the edge of my screen. But I've tried changing settings for screen resolution, changing to desktop, and choosing pretty much EVERY option that exists, but NOTHING changes this. Other than switching my computer settings themselves to just using one computer (which there's no way in the world I'm going to change my computer settings that I use normally (I'm a graphic designer and NEED the two monitor setting) just to play a game.

Why won't this work? With WoW, with LOTRO, with EVERY computer game I've played in the 21st century, it's a no brainer. What am I missing on settings that's making this happen this way?

It might have been better to post in the "ALL ACCESS: Gameplay / Technical Issues & Bugs" section, but here goes.

You could play the game in Windowed mode.

The problems you are experiencing are NOT related to the game itself, but your graphics settings in WINDOWS, especially your display settings. What you are describing (moving your cursor to the edge of the monitor and it starting the second display) is a function of your Windows graphic drivers.

Finally, I'd suggest looking at this page from maximumpc:

About the middle of the page is a mini-review of a program that might solve your problem:

I highlighted the point you need to consider.
