December 5, 200817 yr 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?
December 6, 200817 yr Author addendum - I've tried rolling back to older drivers but nothing seems to help.
December 9, 200817 yr 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.
December 9, 200817 yr Try going to control panel -> mouse properties -> pointer options tab and untick the box under "Snap To" and see if that helps

Then choose the Windows Classic theme.
December 11, 200817 yr Author Sorry...i wasn't clear - I tried the classic settings and it still does it, I was looking for the pixel setting (0,0)?
January 8, 200917 yr Author still have this issue.....and i have upgraded to 1 geforce 280 gtx and removed one monitor
January 8, 200917 yr 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.
January 12, 200917 yr Author Thx but, i don't think ati driver issues are germane to a geforce system.
