I am having difficulty configuring a WinXP system with multiple (4x) projectors driven by multiple (2x dual head, nVidia 8800s) graphics cards.
I am able to "manually" get things to work by clicking through the display properties window and settings tab. This window shows the virtual desktop position of each projector. However, I am unable to reliably and repeatably find a way to force the assignment of these desktop positions without a need for clicking through. Will utlramon help?
Let me clarify. Suppose I have four projectors: A, B, C, and D. They are physically arranged from left to right: ABCD. When I boot my system, they may be virtually arranged (by WinXP) in the same order or they may be virtually layed out (by WinXP) as ADBC. In which case, I have to go into the display properties menu and reconfigure to the proper order of ABCD. (I suspect that the order that I turn on the projectors has a lot to do with this ordering.)
My question is how can I force WinXP to some consistent default confiration, say ABCD, at bootup without going through a GUI configuration? Is there a configuration file that I can specify?
Thanks in advance, Dave.
PS Here's system details. WinXP, Intel Skulltrail MB with two quad-core CPUs, two nVidia 8800 graphics cards, four 800x600 VGA projectors.

You could use UltraMon's display profile feature to quickly restore the original configuration.

Thanks. Does the SDK for Ultamon support the restore capability as well?
Would I be able to incorporate the restore into code?
Thanks.

No, you would need to implement this manually, the COM objects include the necessary functionality to get and set the display configuration.
