Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Stretching desktop on all moniters
Eric   2005-12-17 08:03
I have three moniters and when i first tried ultramon I had my desktop stretched across all three of my moniters. I recently did something and all i can get now is three of the same images on my moniters.
When I click on the ultramon icon and click wallpaper then stretch image on all moniters. When I click apply all three of my moniters go black. I'm not sure what I did wrong but I know it used to work before.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,

Eric

To access the About dialog, right-click the UltraMon icon in the system tray and select About from the menu.

Thanks for the system information, looks fine.

On the wallpaper dialog, do you have 'one background/image for the whole desktop' selected?

Please check if the wallpaper bitmap generated by UltraMon contains the image you selected, or if it is just black.

To do this, go to the My Documents\My Wallpapers folder, and take a look at the bitmap file for your wallpaper. For example if the name of your wallpaper is Default, the bitmap would be named Default.bmp.
