phoenx97 Wrote:I finally got mine to work after a lot of fiddling around. My setup is as follows:

Primary 20" 1680x1050 Monitor
Secondary 32" 1366x768 HDTV
Windows 7 x64

Installed UltraMon with mentioned fixes to get it working
In system tray, right clicked UltraMon and made a new shortcut
For the app path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\XBMC.exe" SDL_FULLSCREEN_HEAD=2
Window tab - Custom settings, Show: Normal on Monitor 2
Left Display custom settings disabled
Made a link on the desktop
Ran XBMC and went to Settings/Appearance/Screen
Set monitor resolution to 1360x768
Restarted XBMC
Everything works fine... primary screen is still 1680x1050, secondary is fullscreen with no window borders, Aero still works on main screen

Hope that helps someone

Thank you for your directions. I am having the same problem. I am running Windows Vista Home Ultimate and the rest of my set up has the same specs as yours except my LCD TV is 46" vice 32". I followed your directions and my monitor is still changing from 1680X1050 to 1360X768. I am also getting a taskbar at the bottom of my LCD TV weras before I was not. Is there a way to disable it? Thank you for answering a N00b question.
