Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Games Resolution Changes Desktop size changes Maximized Windows

Here iss omething I run into when I play games on my primary monitor. I'll try to explain what happens, and what I WANT to happen. Maybe ultramon or some other tool can help me out.

Problem:

When I play a game, I typically play at a lower resolution that I use for my desktop. I have some applications maximized on the second monitor, and when I start the game (and the resolution changes), the maximized applications, get shifted right (because the desktop size is shrinking) and I don't see the entire window.

What I want to happen:

When I start a game, and the resolution changes, I want the applications on the second monitor to stay where they are at, and not get shifted over. Maybe a remaximizing or something?

Any one have any ideas?

Thanks,

Brent

Well, the shortcuts with ultramon seem to help a bunch. I didn't play with them much before.

A more automatic solution would be better though. Let me know if anyone comes up with anything.

Thanks

You could also use a custom display profile which moves the secondary monitor to the left of the primary, this will also fix the problem.

See the FAQ for more on this issue.
