Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Disabling monitors with a display profile works but they come back in the wrong orientation

We have a couple of Windows 7 64-bit machines that have three monitors on two nVidia NVS-290 video cards that have trouble with disabling monitors with UltraMon. We have setup display profiles to disable and re-enable the 3rd monitors, but they aren't working right. They disable just fine, but when they are re-enabled with a display profile they default to landscape. Then we have to go into Windows settings to rotate the display back to portrait. This is only happening on the monitor that is disabled. The other two are fine. This setup works with XP, even on the same hardware configuration just not on Windows 7 64-bit. Thanks for any help that you can offer.

This will be fixed in the next release, due to support being added for setting the orientation via UltraMon, unfortunately there is no workaround for this other than changing the orientation via Windows Display Properties.

On Windows XP the orientation didn't get changed when the monitor got re-enabled, but on Windows 7 it gets reset to the default if the application doesn't explicitly specify the orientation.
