After my system wakes up fromn it's screensaver by desktop is blank. I have to open UltraMon - select another wallpare, click apply, then select the original and click ok to get it back.
Is this a feature that goes away when I register the product?

Do you have this problem with all screen savers? Please try if you have the same problem when using a standard Windows screen saver, for example Beziers.
The trial version is identical to the full version except for the 30-day trial period.

p.s.
This behavior also occurs if I log off and then back on.

Do you have another wallpaper manager running which might change the wallpaper, for example Webshots or a virtual desktop manager (nView, MSVDM, ...)?
To see the currently active wallpaper bitmap, take a look at Display Properties > Desktop. UltraMon wallpaper bitmaps would be listed at the bottom, for example Default.
Or are you using images for the wallpaper which are on a network share? If UltraMon recreates the wallpaper, and the share hasn't been mapped yet, you would get a blank wallpaper (background color only).

So the UltraMon wallpaper bitmap is still set as the desktop background, but the bitmap is blank (background color only)?
Unfortunately I have no idea why this would happen if the images are always accessible.
BTW, make sure you are using the latest version, 2.1, there was a bug once which might cause problems similar to what you're experiencing.

RESOLUTION!
When you suggested that there might be something running in the background - it made me start looking since Hydravision was at one time running on this machine (I uninstalled it) - Well that was not enough - two more ATI apps were being loaded through HKLM/Run - Ati2mdxx.exe and atiptaxx.exe - when I disabled these in the resgistry and rebooted, my problem went away. Thanks for your suggestions and help!
:)
