First and foremost I would like to say Thanks for all the help your site provides to us Multi-Monitor people. Secondly the tools you provide us with kick! I myself have only noticed a couple things so far, first if the secondary monitor is disabled and a restart is preformed UltraMon cant enable it once restarted (must be enabled from display properties). And the second I haven't tried alot of single monitor screensavers yet, but I did have Voodoo Lights (www.voodoolights.com) up and running for a week or so with UltraMon working fine. But now it stopped functioning for some odd reason. Other then these small problems I have to say its running smooth as can be on Win2000. Once again thanks for all the help.

Thanks, glad you like it.
Can't re-enable secondary monitor: after rebooting, does UltraMon think that all monitors are already enabled (ie the multi-monitor icon is shown and the 'Disable Secondary' menu entry is not checked)?
Voodoo Lights: what happens when UltraMon Screen Saver starts with Voodoo Lights selected?

To follow up with your reply, when restarting UltarMon only finds the primary. And to enable to secondary from the restart you must goto display properties ( at least Win2000 ). The setup itself is a TnT2 ultra and a Stealth S540. As far as Voodoo Lights it just starts beeping ( I think 2 or 3 beeps ). Other then these very little problems I think Mircosoft needs you for the Multi-Monitor division.

Make sure VoodooLights doesn't change the display mode to anything lower than your standard desktop resolution, I have seen that this causes UltraMon Screen Saver to quit immediately. The option is on the Display tab of the VoodooLights configuration dialog.
To troubleshoot the problem with re-enabling the second monitor, please do the following:
- disable secondary monitors with UltraMon
- restart your system
- after restarting, leave the second monitor disabled and start the registry editor, regedit.exe
- go to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\1.0\DisableMon
- there should be a value named '\\.\DISPLAY2', please let me know what data it contains
