Hey gang,
I'm running UltraMon 2.5 on an old WinXP Pro SP3 machine with two monitors, and I foolishly did something that's caused much frustration.
Physically, monitor 1 is on the right, and monitor 2 is on the left. M2 (on the left) used to have the start menu and the bulk of my desktop items, but I either unplugged a display cable from the CPU and then plugged it back in or changed the monitor arrangement in Display Properties or something, and the monitors swapped, and now I can't get them to go back. No matter what I do, M1 (on the right) has the start menu, and it's driving me crazy.
The monitors are different sizes and have different cable types, otherwise I'd just move one or swap the cables. The cables are bundled separately, and I can't really get to them to unbundle and re-route them.
Can someone please help me with this?
Thanks!
Brandon

To fix this, right-click the main taskbar and make sure it isn't locked, then grab a free area on the taskbar with the mouse and drag it to the other monitor.
You may also want to set the left monitor as primary in case it isn't primary already, you can do this via UltraMon menu > Set Primary.

Thanks, Christian! After I did that, the main taskbar and the smart taskbar were both on the left monitor. I disabled the smart task bar, rebooted, and re-enabled it, but it was still on the left. Can this be fixed?
Thanks,
Brandon

With version 2 of UltraMon you'll need to adjust the Smart Taskbar configuration manually, to do this right-click the UltraMon taskbar and select 'Add Taskbar for' to add a taskbar to the right monitor, then right-click the UltraMon taskbar on the left monitor and select Close to remove it.
