the middle mon is connected at gforce 3, all works flawless. left and right of middle mon are 2 other mons, only problem is when i play GTA3 and have to move my avatar around the mouse actually comes from time to time out of the middle monitor and on the left or right mon. now when i press a button without noticing that, the game will get in background and get me to desktopn on middle monitor also.
you can imagine how anoying that is.
of course i could just shut down the 2 monitors, but as some may remember if you do that under win2k + nvidia after re-enabling the other monitors you have no hardware acceleration until reboo.
so the main tip required is:
how could i make the mouse staying in a full-screen game remaining on the play-monitor while ingame?

You can use UltraMon's Lock Mouse to Primary Monitor feature to prevent this.
To use this feature, go to Options > Hotkeys, configure a hotkey for Lock mouse to primary monitor. Press the hotkey before starting the game.

Hi,
thanks a lot for the great hint :)
the option hotkey option works very good, although theres still also with ultramon a flaw that while turning the avatar ~180° my mouse pointer reaches the left border of the right monitor, although it should remain on middle. when i press the mouse than, im back to desktop out of the game. can i configure the edges of the locked window somewhere in ultramon ? like main-monitor resolution -100 pixels or so.
but like it is, its already a great help and im going for ultramon 8)
greetings,

I'll add this option in the next release, you'll be able to optionally specify a margin in pixels.

ah great news :)
i hope a lot can benefit of this.
in same context the ultramon smart taskbar (standard) technic showed to be interfering with the logitec wingman profiler (you use it to make custom setup for your force-feedback wheel / pedals) - turning the assignements of the pedals effectless while the ultramon smart taskbar is set to on.
may be a special problem, but i guess more here use a lot of funny hardware, especially pedals for sims etc, which may not be exclusive problematic with logitec.
