For some reason, no custom settings for my Untramon installation are retained whenever the program is restarted. It's getting really annoying to have to set up all of my hotkeys and such every time I restart my machine.

I'm using Ultramon 2.0 RC1 with an MSI 4200 (with it treating the monitors as two separate monitors) on Win2k.

Here's what Ultramon's about dialogue box says:

2 monitors
Current desktop: 2560x960 (-1280,0 - 1280,960)

Monitor 1 - MAG DX-700T:
Settings: 1280x960, 16-bit color, 60 Hz refresh rate
Coordinates: -1280,0 - 0,960. Workspace: -1280,0 - 0,960
Video card: MSI MS-StarForce GeForce4 Ti 4200 (NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200)
Device: \\.\DISPLAY1\Monitor2

Monitor 2 - Plug and Play Monitor (primary):
Settings: 1280x960, 16-bit color, 60 Hz refresh rate
Coordinates: 0,0 - 1280,960. Workspace: 0,0 - 1280,960
Video card: NVIDIA Dualview
Device: \\.\DISPLAY6\Monitor3

How are the settings stored? I can't find them in the registry (If I could, I'd just export them to a file and then import the file when I needed to.) and I don't see any files that would seem to hold them in ultramon's directory.

Thanks for any help

Please check if you have write access to the UltraMon registry key.

To do this, open regedt32.exe, select the registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon', and choose Security\Permissions from the menu. If your account doesn't have access, give it full access to this key.

That did it. Thanks for the quick reply.
