I basically want to shut down the output to my second monitor upon execution of an application (a game) to free up resources. Does anybody have a solution?
Thanks

I think you can do this if you RightClick > Properties on the game shortcut
Go to the UltraMon - Display tab
And setup as you desire

Hmmm, yeah that's the way it's supposed to work. I'm trying to run a Steam game (Counterstrike Source) and it loads a small loading application inbetween me double clicking the game icon and the game actually loading. This causes the screen to turn off and then turn on only moments later.
Thanks for your help anyway, if nobody else has any ideas I think i'll have to do it manually.

There's no fix for this via UltraMon, UltraMon currently doesn't support waiting for a process which was launched by the initial process.

Hmm, if you popup generates a HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED
Then you could create a small utility that employs the use of RegisterShellHookWindow to detect this
Then from the window handle check if it's title matches that of your popup
And bish, bash, bosh, then disable the secondary monitors
Or as you say you could just do it manually :P
