Anachronous   2002-10-19 16:16
Running GF3 with a Trio 3D for second monitor.
main monitor is 21in running at 1280x1024 the second monitor located on the right hand side is a 17in running 1024x768. on WinXP PRO with 30.87 drivers and same rev stereo drivers.
Nview is disabled

i cannot see the second taskbar, it is enabled in the settings and in the registry settings.

Ive tried changing resolution to match on both monitors, also rebooting and clicking taskbar exe file in the ultramon directory. Enabled and disabled nview.
none work
what else can i try?

Please send me the system information displayed on UltraMon's About dialog (UltraMon menu > About) and the Smart Taskbar settings.

To save the Smart Taskbar settings to a file:

- open regedit.exe
- select the registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\Smart Taskbar'
- choose File\Export from the menu

For anyone else who may have this problem, i got around the problem.
The Ultramontaskbar.exe wouldnt run, unless i disabled visual theme support in windows XP compatibility mode.

Im using the standard Blue them, and i did try with the other standard themes.
I dont use any other form of theme support.

The only drawback to this, was it will only show up in that horrible standard grey colour.
A simple option to change the colour manually would help, but for now, ill make do.
