Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Taskbar on 3rd and fouth monitors
Dave   2011-07-28 02:00
I have just switched to Win7 64bit. Along with that came 2 1080P monitors. I was able to keep previous 2 monitors with the switch. My 2 new monitors are set in portrait mode right in front of me. The 2 old monitors are off to the left and right of the new ones. And are setup in landscape mode. I show my task bar across all 4 monitors and each monitor is set to contain the winodws that are on it.

But on the outer monitors(the older ones) the taskbar covers up the bottom of the what ever application is maximized to that window. Short of Auto-Hiding the task bar on those monitors is there anythign else I can do?

I used this product on my old machine, but will need to purchae for this one and would like to know an answer before my trial expires in about 15 days.

Thanks
Dave

Make sure you're using version 3.0.6 or later of UltraMon, and also check if each taskbar is set to be always on top, you can change this setting via right-click on the taskbar.

Christian,

It is version 3.1.0 and yes they were set to always be on top. Changed to Auto Hide for the moment so I can see the bottom of the maximized app.

But have tried switching that.

Thanks
Dave

Does restarting UltraMon fix the problem? You can close it via the UltraMon menu, then restart it via the shortcut in Start Menu > Programs.

Christian,

After and "unscheduled" reboot it started working correctly. But occasionally I have to change the Always on top setting to Off then back on again to get it to work.

If you notice anything which seems to cause the issue, let me know and I'll look into it.

A couple of users mentioned similar issues if they had video card software enabled, if you have ATI HydraVision installed it might be worth a try to disable it and check if that fixes the problem.
