Know of any working dual monitor programs for Vista, free ones?

I've looked into Ultramon - Not quite sure if I want to pay $40.

Oscar's Multi-Monitor thing didn't work at all.

ultramon is pretty much the only acceptable answer

it's also worth the $40

2/23/2009 6:18:47 PM

ultramon is so much better

it's absolutely mind-boggling that MS hasn't made ultramon-like functionality a part of the OS, considering how bad-ass windows multi-display support is compared to alternatives (ok, compared to linux, no clue about OSX) -- especially considering Bill Gates works with 3 monitors (as do I).

but until they do,

ultramon

Has anyone tested dual-monitor functionality with Win7? I don't recall anything of note in everything I've read, though.

true

though the integrated Intel graphics driver on my Latitude D620 has about half the features of Ultramon...so it might be worth updating your drivers and digging around in the settings

bah


ultramon is the end-all be-all

2/23/2009 9:50:37 PM

well for sure...i run it on all my dual monitor setups (even the D620 mentioned above)

but for the cheap asses out there, there are other options

Yeah, it worked fine with 3 monitors. Ultramon shit it's pants, but apparently it's easily correctable.
