I have created a wallpaper for Ultramon 2.5 with a different image on each of my 2 screens. Everything is great and beautiful until I reboot the system. Then I get no wallpaper. I have to go into the wallpaper settings, change something and then change it back so that the apply button becomes available and then apply for the images to return.

Some customers with Matrox video cards reported the same problem, unfortunately we never figured out what caused it.
Also check if you don't have a wallpaper changer or other application which manages wallpapers running as well.

I have a new pc with an ATI video card and the same thing is happening. After a reboot, ultramon is initialized but the wallpaper does not come up. I have to go into the wallpaper manager, change something and then change it back, so that I can hit apply and then everything works.

Please check the following when you experience the problem after rebooting:
- go to Display Properties > Desktop and check if your UltraMon wallpaper is set as the active wallpaper. The default UltraMon wallpaper is named Default. Also check if Position is set to Tile
- go to the folder My Documents\My Wallpapers and open the file <wallpaper>.bmp, for example Default.bmp, and check if the bitmap is blank or if it contains both images

I have the same issue. I'm running a Dell Precision 470 workstation with an NVIDIA Quadro FX video card. I confirmed that the UltraMon wallpaper is selected and that the bmp file contains both images.

Unfortunately I don't know what would cause this, doesn't seem to be an UltraMon issue though.
Looks like Windows doesn't repaint the desktop for some reason.

Hi,
same problem here (Win XP SP2, two Dual Headed Matrox P650)
> - go to Display Properties > Desktop and check if
> your UltraMon wallpaper is set as the active
> wallpaper. The default UltraMon wallpaper is named
> Default. Also check if Position is set to Tile
I got no Wallpaper named "Default". "My Wallpapers" contains three files:
- Default.wallpaper (3kb)
- Castle.bmp (11.521 kb)
- Castle.wallpaper (1 kb)
Does that help in finding the bug?

If Castle is selected as the active wallpaper in UltraMon, look for Castle in Display Properties > Desktop, Default wouldn't be listed there in this case.

Yes, Castle is there, but I need to reactivate it after every reboot. BTW, my home-dir is located on a samba-server, if that information is of any help.

Is Castle still selected as the current wallpaper in Display Properties > Desktop when the problem occurs?
In general having the UltraMon wallpapers on a network share shouldn't be an issue, as long as the share is available when you boot the system.
But it might still be worth a try to move the wallpaper to a local folder. For testing you could do this as follows:
- copy Castle.bmp to a local folder
- go to Display Properties > Desktop and select the local copy of Castle.bmp as your wallpaper
- make sure Position is set to Tile

Loading the file from a local desk didn't help either.

... but after setting up the wallpaper via display-properties too, the whole thing seems to work now.
