Dual monitors taskbar problem

I'm using multimon taskbar 2.1

My second monitor is above my primary, so I move my most out the top of my primary to reach my secondary, and down my secondary to return to my primary.

So in Display Settings, my monitors look thusly:
2
1

In order for multimon to work, it says they must be
1 2
or
2 1
or at least, it says that's the default setting.

My problem is, if I'm set at
2
1
I can never see the second taskbar

But when I set the monitors to
1 2
I can see my second taskbar. This'd be fine, except I have to move off to the right side of my screen to reach the monitor above me, which is idiotic.

Please help? :(

Hello mcphersonline,
Have you tried going in to Display Properties, (right click desktop, choose personalise, display settings) and dragging and dropping your second monitor over/on-top of, your first monitor, if you get any issues, disable multimon and try.
Give this a go and post your results.

Yes, as I stated in my post, I've definitely did that.

Is my setup. I definitely, definitely said that.

However, you did make me realize that I hadn't disabled multimon before I tried starting it again on my secondary monitor. So i did that, but now my second taskbar appears on my primary monitor, right over my standard vista taskbar.

Both taskbars are on monitor1, my primary. They're one right ontop of the other.

If you don't need both taskbars, you can set the second monitor as an extension to your primary monitor.
If you do need both taskbars, then you have me beat, Ive never seen this before.
