Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Cant move expanded windows betwen 3-monitors on ATIs
Jay   2010-01-27 02:25
My workstation at HOME has two monitors on a single NVidia card with two DVI. I can move an expanded window from one monitor to the other and it will automatically expand to the next monitor's full screen resolution.

I don't seem to be able to do this at WORK.

I have three monitors (two DVI, one VGA), on two ATI cards (one on the Asus motherboard, the other on Pci Xpress bus)

Questions:

- UltraMon solve this problem?
- Any hint on solving this problem without using ultramon?

Many txs for any advice!

I've never faced this problem and tried with multiple combination of cards:

2 identical ATI > 4 screens
2 different ATI + 1 Nvidia > 4 screens
1 ATI + 1 nvidia > 3 screens

Although it might have something to do with the fact that one of your card is ONBOARD (never tested that). I would be very interested to know how you manage to do that! What is your MB model ?

If you're using Vista or earlier, you can't move maximized windows by dragging them with the mouse. UltraMon has support for this, the option is under Options > General, enable moving of maximized windows using the mouse. This is enabled by default.

Thank you both for your feedback and advices.

My MB is an ASUS M3Something for AMD(I dont remember the exact model), the onboard GPU is an ASUS(i.e.ATI)EAH3450 series and the pciXpress Graphic card is an ATI Radeon HD 3200. OSes on all my PCs are SP2 XPpro.

I installed Ultramon demo and indeed it Solved the problem. Drag and dropping maximized windows is now possible. Cool!
