I am running Win XP on a Dell M90 Laptop (with UltraMon, of course). I dock my laptop into a docking station where the second monitor is located to the left of my laptop screen.
I went to the display properties and dragged monitor 2 to the left (where it is physically) and everything works great. HOWEVER...
When I redock my computer & restart tomorrow, everything comes up correctly (laptop scren is primary monitor, etc) except that monitor 2 is back on the right side. I have to redrag the monitor to the left and click apply every morning.
I couldn't find a post with this exact problem, so I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanx!

I have the same issue with my Dell e1705. My secondary is "Monitor 2" and physically to the left of my laptop display, on every reboot, I have to open the XP display properties and drag the secondary to the left of the primary.
It is a little annoying, but only something people with mobile machines would have to deal with. I suspect it is more likely related to Dell's driver or XP's display functionality than with UltraMon.

I have the same problem except I'm using a desktop (WinXP) with an ATI 4 monitor workstation card (FireMV 2400 PCI).
I have three monitors (physically 1-2-3) but arrange in software them as (2-1-3). Everytime I do a fresh boot in the morning I need to re-swap 2 and 1. A soft restart mid-day works fine. Could be time to address this UltraMon.

Talbot, you could do this with an UltraMon display profile (UltraMon menu > Display Profiles).
