I cannot get XBMC_for_Windows-8.10 to run maximized on my LCD TV(monitor 2). I have set Ultramon custom settings for the XBMC-shortcut to run the application in fullscreen on monitor 2, but when i run it, it runs in windowed mode, with part of the XBMC window showing on monitor 1. I have tried different approaches in settings, but either way; the XBMC window will not execute in fullscreen on monitor 2.
The only way it will run on fullscreen on mon.2 is if i execute the shortcut from mon.2, but then monitor 1 switches to the same resolution as mon.2..
i have Ultramon 3.0.3 beta installed on my Win Vista 64bit PC, and Nvidia 8400 GS videocard. I have enabled DualView on the Nvidia software, and run a 22" LCDmonitor 1680*1050(monitor 1)screen + Samsung 32" LCD TV 1360*768(monitor 2)
Thankful for ANY help n tips.!

i have found some posts where it seems the monitor running fullscreen apps must be the primary monitor. I tried this and it "worked", except it is not the solution i ultimately was looking for.. I had wanted to sit and work on the primary monitor, and run a fullscreen media center on the TV.. but hey

UltraMon can't run an application in fullscreen mode, with the maximize option the window still has a title bar.
But maybe the application has a command-line switch to enable fullscreen mode.

I have exactly the same issue. XBMC does have a full screen mode. add a -fs at launch. BUT there are issues. Yes, if you launch XBMC -fs on the Primary screen, it works correctly (FULL SCREEN) BUT, if you launch XBMC -fs on the secondary screen you end up with a border. I run my secondary LCD at 720p. If I launch XBMC and then go into XMBC and change the resolution to 480p and then back to 720p, the border will disappear and I will get full screen. BUT, when I close XMBC and relaunch, it comes back with the border. Also, the "LAST POSITION" in Ultramon does not appear to work for XBMC.
I dont want the large screen to be the Primary. I have a small touchsceen LCD as the Primary.
