Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Application opens on secondary monitor automatically - why?
Darren   2009-03-27 07:35
I'm not sure why this started happening...

When I open "Windows Media Center" the application opens and shifts over to monitor 2 automatically, something I don't want it to do. I'm not sure how to get it to open and display on monitor 1.

Is there a setting within UltraMon to get it to stay on Monitor 1?

Windows Vista Home Premium
UltraMon 2.7.1.0

Maybe monitor 2 has been set as primary, you can change this back via UltraMon menu > Display Settings.

To position an application with UltraMon, right-click the application's shortcut, select Properties from the menu, then select the UltraMon - Window tab. I'm not sure though if this will work with Media Center.

Thanks for the reply Christian.

The primary display is monitor 1, I previously checked that.

There isn't an UltraMon-window tab in the properties of the "Media Center" shortcut, I checked other shortcuts and it exists in "Windows Media Player" for example but not "Media Center"

I did get it working by disabling the secondary monitor, opening and closing "Media Center", then re-enabling secondary monitor, and re-opening 'Media Center".

So it works for now.

If you get the problem again, you could create a new shortcut for Media Center via UltraMon menu > Shortcuts, unfortunately UltraMon can't add the UltraMon tabs to some shortcuts.
