Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Ultramon disables monitor sleep?

Hi All.

I've got ultramon running just fine on my system, only problem I've run into is this:

I usually have my monitors set to turn off after 20 minutes of inactivity in the power options menu in XP.

Whenever I use ultra mon to disable the secondary monitor - for some reason it disables the monitor sleep settings (even though in the XP options it still says turn off after 20 min). I have to re-enter the windows options and click ok to get the monitors to sleep again.

Any way to fix that?

Do you have the same problem if you disable the monitor via Display Properties (uncheck 'Extend my Windows desktop...')?

Nope... it works fine if I do it through the windows display properties.

Only if I click the "disable secondary monitor" option on the ultramon task icon does it disable the monitor sleep.

Unfortunately I don't know what might cause this, also haven't seen this myself so far.

One other thing you could test: what happens if you disable the monitor via UltraMon menu > Display Settings?
