Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Bug with Winkey + M
Paul D   2002-10-04 19:56
Running Windows 98SE - Matrox Millenium G400 card. Ultramon RC2 trial version.

Winkey + M only clears the second monitor - Winkey + D still clears both. Show Desktop shortcut OK as well.

Also, Excel 97 doesn't like the buttons. If you try to use one of your buttons it disables all the top right buttons - yours and Microsofts. Surprisingly, this doesn't happen in Word.

Hey, this is one great application. Congratulations - I will buy it soon.

Thanks for your bug reports.

WIN+M only works correctly on Windows XP, I suggest using WIN+D instead.

I have been able to reproduce the problem with Excel 97, but unfortunately won't be able to fix this at the moment (would require major changes to the window buttons feature).

As a workaround, you can disable custom window buttons for Excel 97: go to Options > Window Title Bar, click Add and select Excel.exe (usually in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office). You can still use the custom menu commands to move/desktop maximize Excel.

This problem might be fixed in a future release, but I can't guarantee it.

BTW, this problem doesn't seem to occur with later versions of Excel, I also tested Excel 2000, worked fine.

During testing I noticed another bug: with custom window buttons disabled for Excel, moving a maximized instance of Excel using the mouse will cause the buttons to be painted on the title bar after the window has been moved (the buttons aren't active though). This will be fixed in the next release.

Thanks for the quick reply. I had already worked out the workarounds you suggested, so I don't have a problem. Just thought you should know, if you didn't already.
