Forums -> UltraMon™ -> leftover icon after boot
Mark   2012-02-05 11:26
Win 7 x64
Ultramon 3.1.0. More info at bottom (if it matters)

Things mostly work OK, but after a boot there is a stray "symbol' left on the screen - the little square with the line in it to change monitors. Just the symbol, no window attached. I guess leftover from something in the boot.

Click it and it moves to the other monitor, click again and it moves back. A "refresh" doesn't fix. Eventually, after a random time, it clears up.

I guess to be fair, it's cosmetic, if annoying.

Any suggestions?? thnx...

Please check if you have the Acer Hotkey Utility installed, C:\Program Files (x86)\Acer\Hotkey Utility\HotkeyUtility.exe.

If yes, disabling window buttons for this application via UltraMon Options > Compatibility will fix the issue.

Yup... that was it. Not a connection that I would have ever made. I have no idea what this software is - it was a freebie that came with the system.

On my (Gateway) system it was at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Gateway\Hotkey Utility\HotkeyUtility.exe


Thanks for your help.

Glad to hear that fixed the issue. The problem is that this application creates a hidden window which UltraMon treats as visible, so the buttons get added. Will be fixed in the next release if possible.
