Hi,
I have a little problem I can't figure out.
I have a system with
- AGP 3DLabs GVX1 (monitor # 1)
- PCI Nvidia card (monitor #2).
Works great.
I then added the Edit card MATROX RT2500, and everything still work fine but by installing this card, Windows add a third monitor in the Display properties (I know it's supposed to be that way)
The problem is that my PCI Nvidia became MONITOR #3 and the MATROX RT2500 is now MONITOR #2.
It also means that the Ultramon features do not work as it used to be. I can't use the Move the next monitor, or expand to both screen features.
Is there a way to assign the monitor # in the Windows display properties ? .....if not is there another solution.
Thanks in advance.
Gpin.
PS : I'll post that one on the Matrox forum too.

Can you disable the RT2500 monitor in Display Properties and still use the card for video editing? If yes, Beta 7 of UltraMon will allow you to ignore the RT2500, see the preview for a screenshot of this new feature. UltraMon will also reassign monitor IDs, so as far as UltraMon is concerned you'll have only two monitors, numbered 1 and 2.

Thanks for replying so quickly Christian.
I try to disable the RT2500, but unfortunatly the card is not recognized anymore.
I saw the new features for ULTRAMON Beta 7, and it's seems to be able to solve the problem.
if it's a beta version, who is doing the Q&A for it? :) Can't seems to be able to download it anywhere....when will it be available.
Thanks
Gpin.

UltraMon requires that a monitor is disabled in order to be ignored, but it may be possible to change this.
I'll need to know a bit more about your system:
- do you have a monitor or TV connected to the RT2500, and if yes, is the desktop extended to this display (you can move windows to it, etc)?
- please post the system information displayed on UltraMon's About dialog (UltraMon menu > About)
The screenshot is from an intermediate build of Beta 7, which isn't publicly available. Beta 7 is currently scheduled for end of April.
