Using Ultramon (trial) with a laptop and a secondary display rotated 90 degrees, when I undock and redock the laptop, everything returns to normal, except the mouse cursor rotates 90 degrees when it's on the secondary monitor. The cursor is normal on the laptop monitor, but rotates as soon as it moves to the secondary monitor. Direction isn't affected--moving the mouse up moves the cursor up, etc.--and clicking doesn't seem to be affected either other than the rotated cursor makes it difficult to do any precise clicking/selection. Restarting the machine resolves the issue, but it reoccurs after each undock/redock sequence.
The problem doesn't occur if the secondary monitor isn't rotated.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, a Dell Latitude D630 (set as primary), and a Dell 1907FP (set as secondary and rotated 90 degrees using NVidia control panel).
Is there a way to have Ultramon rotate the display instead of NVidia? Or another workaround to fix this rotated cursor after redocking the laptop?
Thanks,
Vince

UltraMon can't rotate the display, but you could try if you get better results with Pivot Pro.

What about the rotating cursor? Is there anything I can do to resolve that so I don't have to restart every time I redock, which is the point of having the software in the first place.
I'm not having problems with rotating or assigning wallpapers, just with the mouse cursor rotating after I redock.
Thanks,
Vince

UltraMon can't help with this, looks like an issue with the display rotation software.

I'm having the same problem, it's quite annoying. I'm pretty sure it has to do with Ultramon though, because it will work fine if I turn off Ultramon and reboot. The minute I put Ultramon on the mouse will flip on the flipped monitor. There has to be some way around that aside from getting a $40 piece of software that I don't even know will work.

Well it seems to be working today. I disabled any profile that I had active during login and reboot and it worked, I brought the laptop home off the dock last night and this morning it worked fine when I woke the computer up. Seems like for some reason the saved profile I had was messing it up. Maybe that will help somebody.
Thanks,
Eric

you could also look at irotate which is free. It seems to work fine under vista with ultramon. Simple rotation utility.
