Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Monitors are numbered incorrectly
Mary Anne   2004-10-23 17:05
I'm running 4 monitors on WinXP and the "Choose Monitor" menu shows the four of them as 1-4-2-3. But if I move a window to, say, the "4", it will show up on monitor 2 as it should. Likewise for 2 and 3. Is there any way to rename these monitors or otherwise fix this problem? Thanks.

Please post the system information from UltraMon's About dialog (UltraMon menu > About), or send it to support@realtimesoft.com.

Thanks for the information.

UltraMon doesn't support changing the monitor numbers, the only workaround would be to physically move monitor 4 (the second monitor from the left) to the right of the other monitors.

You would then need to adjust the position of monitor 4 in Display Settings (UltraMon menu > Display Settings) so that it matches the new physical arrangement.

Support for changing monitor numbers is being considered for UltraMon 3.

Christian,

Thank you for the workaround and for a great program. If the functionality is in v3 that would be great.

So how actually you've connected 4 monitors to just one pc?
Christian Studer   2004-11-01 02:34
You could do this with a single quad (4-monitor) video card, or by using multiple video cards, for example two dualhead cards (one AGP or PCI Express, the other PCI).

O zi bună tuturor celor de aici! Recent am decis să explorez noi opțiuni pentru petrecerea timpului liber și am dat peste top bet printr-o căutare rapidă pe internet. Fiind din România, m-a interesat să găsesc un operator care să ofere o experiență completă de casino, de la ruletă până la cele mai noi jocuri mecanice. Am fost plăcut surprins de varietate și de modul în care totul funcționează fără erori. Este o platformă care chiar merită atenția noastră, oferind o experiență de top în fiecare zi.
