Forums -> UltraMon™ -> post-SLI install smart taskbar fault

Went from standard 1 card where ultramon worked fine to an SLI setup...smart taskbar does not show up on the 2nd monitor. UltraMon sees three monitors with one disabled...there are only two...thinking that this may be related to why smart taskbar is not showing up on the 2nd monitor...which is listed as the third monitor.

Please advise...

What UltraMon reports...

3 monitors, 1 disabled
Current desktop: 2432x960 (0,0 - 2432,960)

Monitor 1 - ViewSonic VP231wb (primary):
Settings: 1280x960, 32-bit color, 60 Hz refresh rate
Coordinates: 0,0 - 1280,960. Workspace: 0,0 - 1280,930

This is most likely due to the monitor renumbering, I guess previously the second monitor was #2?

If yes, there are two ways to fix this:

- tell UltraMon to ignore the unused monitor 2. You can do this under UltraMon Options > Ignored Monitors.

UltraMon will then treat monitor 3 as #2.

- reset the Smart Taskbar configuration: close UltraMon, then run regedit.exe and delete the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\Smart Taskbar'.

UltraMon will then add a taskbar to monitor 3.

Telling UltraMon to ignore the monitor did the trick!

Appreciate the great service.

Thanks,
