Forums -> UltraMon™ -> wallpapers messed up but not in preview

Hello,
i hope you can help as this problem is driving me nuts. I used to have my monitos in 1 2 position (primary and secondary) with multiple wallpapers etc - all worked fine. however i have now moved the physial location of my monitors to 2 1 and draged the postion change into vista desktop properties.
which resulted in my wallpapers being in the wrong locations - i do not mean wall paper 1 being on monitor 2, i mean half of one wallpaper is on one monitor along with a white band and a 1/4 of the other wallpaper alone with it and the secondary wallpaper being what looks to be the full wallpaper on the wrong monitor.
to help the following screenshots may be of use:

The first shows how my wallpaper is shown, the second shows the layout selection of the monitors (2 1) and the final pic shows that windows sees the ultramon created wallpaper selection how it should be.

IF i change the monitor location setting to 1 2 it has no problems - and displays the wallpapers correctly:

Are you using version 2 of UltraMon? If yes, installing the latest 3.0 beta will fix the problem.
