Forums -> UltraMon™ -> "Change monitor Tab" always on primary monitor. Real annoyance
Simon   2009-10-04 09:16
Fresh OS (XP SP3) and for the first time ever (2.7) whenever I call "change monitor Tab" it always only shows on the primary first monitor. This is terrible because I share my 5 monitors with 3 machines and it is essential that I can have this TAB as it use to, to show exactly from the monitor I’m actually calling this change.

I always use 2.7 and updated several betas up to the present Beta. But no change. Why did this happened? There was a 4th monitor on this main machine, but is temporarily down. Did this somehow upset this occurrence. On my other machines, no problems and as I said, I never had this problem with Ultramon. Actually never had any problem with Ultramon period. Thanks for your help

UltraMon will always open this window next to the mouse pointer, do you have an application installed which changes the position of windows, for example a video card utility which has this feature, or an application which changes the position of the mouse under some circumstances?

Thanks for your reply Christian,

Just thinking; Trackball uses only generic MS drivers but presently away from machine. MS Laser mouse is at the moment the only mouse on this "troubled Tab" PC. MS mouse uses IntelliPoint software to benefit all his uses. But even before with him, never had this problem. But nevertheless, you do make some sense with this. Just at the moment, can't think of the way how to pinpoint the guilty party? No other application that I can think of. Hm, at least you gave me some leads

You comment made me think about this and immediately I’ve found the guilty party : http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/2984/4christian.png

By pure accident this was checked in Matrox's control. Now everything is back to normal.

Well, perhaps it was the time to check Beta versions after all :)

Is the nature of your meticulous testing or something else that makes you consider those versions as Betas? Because from what I can see, the last one seems super stable. At least in XP and since today with WS2003.

For me 3.0.7 is also stable on Vista, but there are still a couple of issues which need fixing before a final release, mainly on Windows 7 though.
