Hi

I have a HD5450 DVI/VGA/DisplayPort card running three monitors. Works well under Win 7. I want to run a large wallpaper running over the three monitors.
(1) Display Port ACER 24 - coordinates -1920,0
(2) DVI LG TV (Primary Monitor) - coordinates 0,0
(3) VGA Dell 27 - coordinates 1920,0

I have Ultramon 3.2.2 setup in the same manner as Win7 Screen resolution. Now the problem.

When displaying the backgrounds monitor 1 is now placed after monitor 3 (2, 3 and 1). However, when I make monitor 1 the primary monitor it operates correctly, 1,2 and 3.

Any advise.

That should work fine, can you post the system information from UltraMon menu > About?

That looks okay, the Acer is on the left, LG at the center, and the Dell on the right.

What happens if you go to UltraMon menu > Wallpaper? Is the wallpaper you set up shown as the active wallpaper profile, and does the image you selected get stretched correctly from left to right there?

Hi

Yes, Acer (Left) -> LG (Centre) -> Dell (Right)

I have the wallpaper profile as default. The image is set to tile and the image is now correctly displayed.

The problem is Win7 desktop background (Slideshow) was active and it was displaying the background incorrectly. Consequently Ultramon wallpaper profile was set to none.

Is there a way to set the wallpaper in Ultramon for a slide show of backgrounds?

That's not supported directly, but you could do this with the UltraMon Wallpaper Auto Changer 2 script.
