First of all I've tried the trial and it's brilliant.
The only problem I have is when it comes to restarting I get to the logon screen and the colour quality has been reduced to 4-bit as apposed to the reqular 32-bit and the resolution has dropped to 640x480 as apposed to 1152x864.
I have to uninstall UltraMon, roll back my graphics card drivers then reinstall them from cd before restarting to get it to work normally again.
Have you seen this happen before and is there anything to need to know about my system in order to help me resolve this issue.

Hmm i seem to have got it working by disabling mirroring.
Any idea why?
Anyhow I think version 3 should include alt-tab specific to each monitor.
And yet another vote for sticky edges!

Whilst ive got my own thread going, hehehe.
And i cant figure out how to edit posts i might as well ask if there is a script or a method of locking the cursor to the current screen unless a button is pressed that either whilst held down or as a toggle allows you to change screens.

Other users have reported the same problem, my guess would be that it's a bug in the ATI display driver.
If you haven't done this already, try if installing the latest drivers for the video card fixes the problem.
Locking the mouse to the current monitor isn't supported, but you can lock it to either the primary monitor or the active window via hotkeys. You can configure the hotkeys under UltraMon Options > Hotkeys.
Would you want the task switch dialog to be shown on the monitor with the mouse, and only show tasks from that monitor?

Thanks I found the hotkeys.
It is possible to lock to primary monitor with a script instead?

I dont think this applies to me because my graphics card is an nVidia Geforce 7800 GTX
quote "try if installing the latest drivers for the video card"
have done this and it didnt help.
What would cause this problem with mirroring enabled?

My guess would be that the display driver or related software has a problem with the mirror driver used by UltraMon mirroring being loaded.
I haven't seen this myself so far though, neither with ATI, Nvidia or Intel video cards.
You could execute the hotkey from a script. For example if CTRL+ALT+L locks the mouse to the primary monitor, the following would execute the hotkey from a script file (.vbs):
Set sh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sh.SendKeys "^%l"
