Mouse not staying on primary monitor

Greetings all,


I've never had this issue before so I am alarmed by it. Yesterday I noticed that some (but not all) of my steam titles were no longer locking the mouse to the primary game window. I am using dual displays of the same resolution in an SLI setup.

I've reinstalled steam, and rolled back my nvidia drivers as well to no avail. In Torchlight, for instance, during gameplay you can actually mouse out of the primary window and onto the secondary monitor. Obviously if you click there the game minimizes...which is not so good for torchlight.

In L4D, the behavior is different. You can mouse out during menus, but not during actual gameplay. Alien Swarm does this as well.

I really could use some insight here. I don't want to have to disable a monitor to get a game to behave correctly.
