Spyder2express Dual Monitor Vista
Recently I bought a second 19″ wide screen monitor to go along with my current 19″ wide screen monitor. They’re both Acer Monitors.
However, one is black and one is silver. I originally had the silver and when I went to buy the second one I couldn’t find the silver one anywhere so I ended up having to get a black one.
Setup Multiple Monitors In Vista. I’ve been using dual monitors with vista and now how do I change it back. I set my laptop and monitor to dual. ColorVision Spyder2Express Accurate Basic Monitor Calibration. Dual-phase hardware design offers. The Spyder2 express is extremely easy to use with.
This is the Monitor: – Note: Make sure you get one with a DVI video input if you have a video card that can support it. Anyway, now with the new dual monitor setup I wanted to find a way to extend my desktop to other desktop.
By extend my desktop I mean instead of just having an extra monitor and being able to drag things over to it; I wanted to extend my taskbar over to the additional monitor. So I looked in the desktop properties (where you change your resolution, etc.) and it had an option to ‘extend desktop’, so I ticked it. It didn’t workafter tinkering around a bit I gave up with that and went to Google and did some searching. After a bit of searching I stumbled across something called.
This piece of software is exactly what I wanted. Not only does it allow you to extend your taskbar, but you can do so much more. You can create hotkeys for many different functions such as moving one window to the other monitor without dragging it over, centering the mouse in a particular monitor, launch an application or script, and to disable/enable secondary monitors.
The feature I use it for mostly is the Smart Taskbar which extends my taskbar. Angeles Oscuros Codex Pdf. You can have it extend the taskbar and mirror it (so it has all the same windows/programs on it as the main monitor or you can have it act as another taskbar for totally separate windows/programs – that’s what I do. Talk about more screen real estate.
If you have 2 or more monitors I highly recommend this program. Note: If you have Vista make sure you download the newest version of UltraMon which is currently in Beta but seems to be stable. I have had no issues with it. Any other Windows OS should be fine with the official stable release.

Hello, I’m actually having trouble setting up my dual monitors right now. I was hoping you could help since you’ve already one it. I have Windows Vista installed, and a NVIDIA GeForce 6200 LE video card, along with an DFI 662-tmg motherboard. OK, so I have two 22″ sceptre monitors I’m trying to use, but I can’t get windows to recognize the second.
I think its because I’m connecting the second through the motherboard instead of the video card. There is only one DVI on the video card. Please advise. G’day, I’m trying to setup dual monitors with Vista Home Premium at the moment, and as soon as I try to extend my deskop to the second monitor, both monitors start to flicker and continue with that until I unplug the second one.
The monitors are not identical, they’re both plugged in to the same gfx, Radeon x1700SE. I’ve tried using Vista’s built-in dual monitor support as well as the one from the ATI Catalyst Control Center, the same problem occurs, both screens start flashing. I’d appriciate if someone could post a guide or some support for this issue. //Jonathan C.
