Forums -> UltraMon™ -> display profiles problem

Hello,

I've some problems using display profiles.

First, my configaration:

nvidia 690GTX with 3 screens:

1) Samsung 22" 1680x1050 (main screen for gaming)
2) Philips 17" 1280x1024 (second screen for tools etc...)
3) LG HDTV 32" 1920x1080 (mounted on a racing simulation seat)

With this configuration I made 3 display profiles following the need of the moment:

Dual: 1) & 2) activated, 1) being primary screen
Mono: 1) activated alone
Seat: 3) activated alone as primary


Like this when I'm gaming at my pc I use Dual or Mono setup following the game, and when I'm using the simulation seat I switch to this screen only.


Now here's what's happening: I test Dual, Mono, and Seat, until that everything is OK, but when I switch back to Dual, the 2) screen is primary and 1) secondary, with inverted resolutions.

I have to go back to the display profile to replace everything in a good shape.


(If needed I can make screenshots, pictures or give you configuration files)



Thank you in advance, and sorry for my bad english.

My guess would be an issue with the monitor numbers, to confirm this switch to the Seat profile, then check if Display Settings still shows the same monitor numbering as before, with the Samsung as number 1 and the Philips as number 2.

If the numbering has changed, let me know which version of Windows you're using.

I confirm the numbers changed.

I'm using Windows 7 SP1.

I made some more tests, and I confirm that when switching back to Dual from another mode (Seat or Mono, the bug is present too), screen numbers of the samsung and philips are muted.

Samsung becomes 2 with 1280x1024
Philips becomes 1 and keep 1280x1024 and become primary

positionning of screens is muted too. Normaly samsung is on the left side and philips on the right side. When the problem appears positions are inverted.

In order to get it working properly again I've to go to Ultramon display settings, set samsung primary, set it to 1680x1050 and drag it on the left of the philips screen.


Regards,
Dominique

To fix this, switch to your regular configuration with Samsung as #1 and Philips as #2 and the LG disabled, then run FixMonIds.vbs.

Great, it's working like a charm now :D

I juste had to recreate the display profiles after executing the .vbs script.


Thanks again for your great, fast and accurate support ;)
