Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Maximised windows on 2nd screen go behind the taskbar
Ori   2008-09-17 22:03
Hello, I'm using Vista SP1 with the 3.0.2 32 bit beta version of Ultramon.

I run a laptop at 1280*800 with an external monitor at 1650*1050.

My problem is that any windows I maximise on the external monitor take up the entire 1650*1050 resolution, and as a result anything on the bottom of the window gets hidden behind the virtual taskbar.

I haven't been able to find a way to fix this and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ori

Is the main taskbar set to be always on top?

If yes, does restarting UltraMon fix the problem?

Yes, the main taskbar is set to always on top, and no problems with windows on that screen.

No, restarting doesn't help. This problem has been there since I installed, after multiple computer restarts and program restarts.

Likewise, it appears I'm not getting the full menu I should be on the smart taskbar. I keep seeing "Add taskbar for" options mentioned on this website, but when I right click the smart taskbar all I get are Toolbar and Position popups.

I don't really need the extra options, but this probably has something to do with my other issue.

Thanks,

Ori

UltraMon 3 no longer has those menu options because it takes the configuration from the main taskbar.

Unfortunately I don't know what would cause the issue you're seeing, for a workaround see this thread.

Excellent, thank you very much for your help, that program worked perfectly.

FYI, I run the second monitor through a laptop dock, which I suppose is similar to the USB connection in the other thread. Perhaps you can glean some more information from that.

Thanks again,

Ori
