I have a couple questions regarding Ultramon's capabilities.
1. Is it possible to bring over the start menu over to the 2nd monitor? I know that i can mirror Monitor 1 but I would like to have the start menu on the 2nd monitor so that I dont have to hotkey or drag to the other monitor. I would like to open programs and have it stay at the same screen.
2. Would I be able to play a game on 1 monitor and chat on my Instant Messanger on the other monitor without having my game log off when i switch monitors?
Thank you for your help.

1) Would you want two start menus, one per monitor? UltraMon doesn't support this.
2) UltraMon won't help with this. Usually this doesn't work, what you could try is run the game in windowed mode (if available).

Just to add to what Christian said. The gaming on one monitor while chatting on the other isn't really supported, but if you run the games in windowed mode it would work. Almost all games can be run in windowed mode. Although many don't actually have an ingame way of setting it up. You'll quite often have to go and find the ini file for the game and adjust it there.
If you do set up games in windowed mode you can actually write a little script with ultramon that will move the window so that all the bars around it appear off screen, making it look as though it's full screen but leaving you with the abilty to use a chat window without closing the game.
