This is cool. My laptop stopped mirroring its screen to the desktop monitor a few days ago and now I can use this to do that again, or keep 2 desktops +rep for the program.

I'm using Ultramon for several years now, all I can say is that it's an amazing program, the fonctions I prefer are:
move window to other monitor (on a 3 monitors setup you can choose witch monitor you want to switch for)
Display profile: on certain applications, I want my middle monitor to become the prime monitor, clone one of them, turn another off, possibilities are endless...

Yeah, I bought UltraMon a while back. Best dosh I've spent.

i really like the fact that everything about your monitors are ready to play with:D... personally, my ati tool isnt at much help:/

Ultramon is a great tool. Great features, great program. If you can't guess i have been using it for, i can't remember, but its been a while.

[Chewy_Solo]

well im just wondering if ultramon will allow me to access my other monitor while on my main monitor i have open a full screen app, without it minimizing the full screen app (game) i have a thread on it in this same section :)

another possibility would be for it to allow me to have maybe that monitor act as another "computer" so that i could use it while im using my other monitor? quite vague but i hope you understand what i mean.

[Scotty]

Can't do it with a full screen game, unless you alt-tab, this is why i run in windowed mode :)

[Chewy_Solo]

meh, i dont like running windowed, but i may have to, i guess i could just tweak the window until its the size of the monitor so i dont notice, but it will still be a pain in the arse :P

I use it when i enable my second monitor. I've used it on both ati and nvidia systems and i find it to me extremly simple with ati cards over nvidia.

The one down point i've found with my current computer is when switching from fullscreen games back to the desktop. 2 monitors really blow while your trying to play games. The mouse will move to the second screen and when you click it puts the desktop in focus and the dude in your game will start spinning in one spot. So i disable my second monitor while playing. When i re-enable my monitor, i have to drag my primary task bar to my right monitor and close & reopen ultramon so i can get the second task bar on the left.

Besides that, its an awsome program.

Will this piece of S/W allow the video overlay to play full screen on the second monitor?

Anyone else noticed that this function seems to have been removed from Nvidia's latest drivers?

i have 3 monitors and i game all the time, i rarely have an issue with this.. in RTS tho it is kinda annoying, but i dont really play RTS
