SWITCH to desktop issue. Not a crash. Please advise.

Hello all,

I hope I'm not the only one experiencing this.

I play on an Asus J73-JW model laptop with an external monitor as the primary.
I just updated my copy of Skyrim (Steam) to participate in the 1.4.27.0 beta.
I also just updated my video drivers for my nVidia Geforce 460M to version 295.73.
I have Skyrim Script Extender installed. (not sure if this will matter)

Now when I play Skyrim the mouse cursor has become unrestricted. When I turn left in the game (my external monitor is to the right of my laptop screen), the mouse ventures onto my laptop screen. When I click on my mouse to activate either hand when the cursor is on the laptop screen Skyrim minimizes and the desktop becomes active.

I just tested Fallout: New Vegas to see if it had the same issue but it didn't.

I'm sure that I could grow accustomed to only turning right in Skyrim but that hardly seems necessary.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I used this: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/slow-down-mouse-movement-at-the-edge-of-the-screen-dual-monitors/

You can customise a delay when the cursor is at the edge of the screen before it proceed.
