Hi

I have a PC running vista with 8 monitor outputs. 6 of them (P1-P6 say for clarity) are connected to 6 different projectors and 1 (C1 say for clarity) is connected to the screen infront of the PC. This setup is used for demonstrations

On a typical demontration session the 6 projectors would be showing 6 differnt applications, all of which would require my interaction

The problem I am facing is that the projector screens are so far apart that some of the projector screens are not visible for me from where I stand, so interacting with an application showing on those projectors is almost impossible

The solution i managed to find was to run 6 instances of mirrormon on display 1 mirroring monitors 1 to 6 respectively. However, I still need to switch back and forth from C1 to the respective monitor as I cannot directly interact with the application window from mirrormon.

Is there any other solution to this, one where all I need to focus is on the display C1

One thing you could do is use a hotkey/script to move the mouse to a specific monitor, if you're interested in this let me know and I'll upload a script which does this.

is there anyway i could use hotkeys to launch mirrormon's mirroring a particular monitor?

To set this up, create a new 'Run application or script' hotkey via UltraMon Options > Hotkeys, then enter a command like this in the application field:

"C:\Temp\MirrorMon.exe" /s 3 2

This will start a MirrorMon instance which mirrors monitor 2.

Please note that you'll need version 2.4.0 or later of MirrorMon for this to work. For more on available command line options, see the Readme.txt file included with MirrorMon.
