First off I have been using UltraMon for years now and I love it, would not consider having a multi-mon setup without it.
I have just upgraded to a third LCD with each LCD displaying it's own space (i.e. "not mirrored").
Each LCD has it's own wallpaper, however when I run any application (such as the FireFox browser I am now running) UM immediately swaps the displayed wallpaper between LCD #2 and #3! And it stays that way until I exit the application and then it swaps them back.
Any ideas how to stop this swapping of wallpaper??
Specs:
Two Dell 2407 24" LCD monitors and one Dell 2408 24" LCD, all of them connected via DVI to one of the two Nvidia GTX280 cards (non-SLI) in my Win XP (SP2) PC.
Thanks.

it is actually shifting the identity of the monitors, so normally (and according to the "display properties" setting in UM) the monitors are arranged as 3 -- 2 -- 1, yet when you turn on the identify "big" number" they show up as 2 -- 3 -- 1.
What made it confusing is that I am also running Stardock's Fences Pro, which kept the correct icons on the middle screen even though it's identity changes from 2 to 3...
I still have no clue why running FF on LCD #1 causes this, or more importantly how to stop it.

Maybe custom display settings are configured for Firefox, with monitor 2 in a different position, to verify this right-click the Firefox shortcut, select Properties from the menu, then select the UltraMon - Display tab.

THANK YOU Christian... You where dead on right!
Sadly after using UM for all these years I didn't know it had the capability to re-arrange screens from the properties setup for an application.
I guess I need to RTFM! {grin}
I wonder how else I could use that???? hmmmmm...
