Unfortunately I found no way to get rid of the message on Vista RTM, even if you tell Windows to not install a driver for the device you will still get the same prompt after the next reboot.
Please note that this is only an issue with UltraMon versions prior to 2.7.1. Version 2.7.1 won't install the mirroring feature on Vista.

I have found no way to get rid of the message on Vista RTM.
With the beta releases it was possible to edit the registry to fix the problem.

I had the DisplayMirror problem with Vista Ultimate after installing Ultramon 2.6, but found the descxriptions on this formum didn't work.
With the following steps I managed to sucessfully fix it. Here are the detailed steps to delete the offending registry key -maybe not all steps are necessary, but at least it works:
#1# Disable user protection (from Christian's earlier post)
"To do this, go to Control Panel > System > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Local Policies > Security Options > User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode and set the option to Disabled."
#2# Reboot into safe mode
#3# Run regedit
#4# right-click the key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\DISPLAYMIRROR' and select Permissions from the menu
#5# click on Advanced
#6# Go to the 'Owner' Tab
#7# Change the 'Current owner of this item' to the account name you logged into safemode with. The default is 'Administrators', leaving it on that setting will not work, so make sure you change it. Press OK.
#8# Back in the 'Permissions' window you now have the permission to give 'Everyone' 'Full Control'. So check the 'Allow' box for the user 'Everyone' (in fact check it for all user on that list). Press Ok. If everything is OK, Vista should now alow you to have made those changes to that registry item without complaining.
NOTE: If at any point you can't see the user 'Everyone' in the 'Permissions' window add the user by clickling 'Add'-> typing 'everyone'-> click 'check names'-> then press OK. Don't forget to give it 'Full Control'.
#9# Try to delete the registry key (right click-> delete)...
#10# Deleting propably didn't work, but it then makes visible the next sub-key in the registry (minimise then maximise they key). Repeat steps #5# to #9# for this newly visible key.
#11# After repeating these steps, a deeper sub-key will be visible. Keep repeating steps #5# to #10# until you reach the final sub-key (about 5-6 levels deep). When each one is visible, and you have made yourself 'owner' of each key and given 'Everyone' 'Full Control' on all, Vista will finally allow you to delete the top level key 'DisplayMirror'.
#12# Reboot back into normal mode.
Notes: I also unchecked the 'inherit from parent...' box in the advanced window, then chose option 'copy', for each key. Not sure if this was necessary.
I hope these steps work for you... Ultramon is too great to not have working properly. Desperatly waiting for 3.0!!!
Sascha!

The following also works fine for me:
1) run regedit.exe
2) right-click the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\DISPLAYMIRROR and select Permissions from the menu
3) click on Advanced, select the Owner tab, then set yourself as the owner and click on OK
4) back on the Security tab, select the SYSTEM account and deny it Full Control
After the next reboot, you will no longer get prompted to install a driver.
