I'm running the 3.0.0 beta version of ultramon on Vista 32-bit with 2 monitors.
I've noticed that when i run Windows Media Center in Full-screen mode the mouse pointer gets locked into this same monitor (i.e. i can't do anything on the second screen as the mouse wont move over to the other screen).
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this problem or will this have to wait until a later version is released?
Otherwise everything seems to be working fine & i'm really impressed with Ultramon.
Thanks,
Alex

UltraMon can't help with this, mouse behavior is handled by the application, for example most games will also lock the mouse to the monitor the game is running on.

thanks for your reply Christian
looks like i'll just have to minimise the window slightly to get around it!

Hi Alex
I had the same problem and after checking around other forums etc I came across a very helpful tip - when MC is in full-screen press the windows key on your keyboard. This will open the start menu as well as well as release your mouse from the screen (effectively, it puts MC into the background).
You will have to do it again every time you need to change channel and if you close a full screen application on your other monitor (only happens in full screen though, closing non-maximised windows keeps you working away uninterrupted). I found it's all not that annoying when you expect it to happen.
