Forums -> UltraMon™ -> shortcut to run games on second monitor not working
Thanatopsis   2011-06-17 16:56
I've tried making a couple different shortcuts for games to run on my second monitor, which is my LCD TV. No matter what they always just run on the primary monitor. So I always have to switch that to be my primary monitor when I want to play any of them. Any ideas?

BTW, I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.

If the game is running in fullscreen mode, UltraMon usually won't be able to position it. You could try running the game in windowed mode if supported, or just change the primary monitor via the shortcut (on the UltraMon - Display tab).

Yeah, it is in fullscreen, which is the way I want it. I guess I have to continue to do it the way I do, which is just right click on the UltraMon system tray icon, and set my second monitor to the primary before I run them. It only takes a couple seconds to do it, then change back when I quit so it's not a huge deal I was just being hopeful. UltraMon is still a great program though.

You can automate this by configuring custom display settings for the shortcut, to do this open properties for the game shortcut, select the UltraMon - Display tab, then configure everything as desired and make sure 'restore original display settings when application exits' is checked.
