On my other computer the video drivers has that build in. Nevertheless, I don't like having an 'extended' taskbar. For that matter, I know Ultramon has some other nifty features, but all features I personaly would never use. So its kind of useless to me.... hence my (removed) comments.

Yeah, looked it up. Sound like a cool thing and very innovative/original I think to use TCP/IP. Although by the way it works, it sure must have problems with certain programs and stuff. But again no use for me as I have a 2 'Blackboxes' for that (second hand of course, way too expensive otherwise
) of which one is a matrix switch, so I can have any monitor for any PC. Should have known about senergys before I bought them, damn...
EDIT: although, now that I think about it, don't you need all the connected PCs to be running if you want to use a particular monitor in that case? Which is a no-go in my case... blah... those two 'blackboxes' makes my whole desktop a bit cooler (more lights and switches and stuff you know
)
