4 LCDs - One PC - Part 2

    So we got the 4 LCDs working on one PC by setting 'em up in the NVidia Control Panel. No sweat, it works great if all the LCDs are set up linearly from left to right in a row. However, the owner of said PC just got a rack for the LCDs (see pic below) where they will be mounted in a square, with 2 on top, and 2 on the bottom. If we label the LCDs with #1 at the top left, #2 top right, #3 bottom left, #4 bottom right, is it possible to configure it so that we can go directly from #1 to #3? Can we mouse vertically between displays? Is there some software out there that will do it for us? Freeware is always preferred, but we'll pay for something if needed. It will be a big pain-in-the-*** if we have to move between LCDs horizontally, from #1 through #2 and #3 to get to #4. If we could go down from #1 to #3 then over to #4, then up to #2 (if desired) it would be freakin beautiful, it would also be sweet if we could move diagonally between LCDs like from #1 to #4 for example. So, I'm sure someone out there has some experience with a quad-LCD rack like this, and knows of software (or something) that will do what we need.
    THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

    if you go to display properties, then settings, you can drag and drop the monitors to where they are in real life.

    While that may be true, I don't think we'll be able to mouse down through the bottom of LCD #1 and and have the pointer appear at the top of LCD#3, and I don't think I can mouse through the bottom right corner of LCD#1 and have the pointer appear in the top left corner of LCD#4. The diagonal movement would be a big plus, but isn't required, but vertical movement is really needed, and horizontal is a given since that is all it does now anyway.

    I found a company that sells the rack, the monitors, and their software that allows free movement between all four displays vertically, diagonally, and horizontally, but it's over $1300!! We have the rack, we have the monitors, we just need the software, and we're willing to buy it if needed, but I can't seem to find anything. I'm not even sure what search terms to use when Googling. Maybe one of you Google pro-searchers can come up with something for me LOL I'd be forever grateful!

    Thanks.
