Re: Vista multi monitor bug!!!

I am able to recreate your problem.

I use DisplayFusion to put 2 different backgrounds on my dual monitors.

I haven't been using any program to span the monitors lately, although I
have tried Ultramon and Multimon before.
I DL'd Multimon, and tried it, but it's doesn't have the transparency.
I DL'd Ultramon 3.0.2, which is a beta for Vista.
It shows the transparent background of screen 1 on screen 2 and vice versa.
Like your photo.
I was able to swap the screen 1 and screen 2 in the Ultramon Display
Settings
Actions - Swap Position with monitor...

this put the proper background behind the taskbar, but I would have to
physically move the monitors around, to get the mouse to move the correct
direction. You might try that.
Since this is a beta, you might discuss this problem on their forum
