    has anybody tried any of the alternatives to Ultramon? My trial period expires today, and I'm not getting the complete version, but I like it, and so need a replacement Any ideas? /jason

      Sorry, I don't have an alternative. Although I also used it and I really liked it, but I thought the price tag was way too much. If you look at the forums on their site most people say the same thing.

Single license - US$ 39.95 That's about 1/2 the price of a 15 inch monitor and 1/3 the price of a 17 inch monitor (Trivandrum prices). Nish

                US$40 = ~AU$65 which is more than I'm willing to spend on it really. /jason

He found it preposterous that time-limited trial software would never expire on his machine and used to tell us that it was only his big heart that prevented him from finding out who the culprit was :rolleyes:

                      It costs £20 for a single user license + VAT of £3.50. I know people who spend more than that on their lunch each day. I couldn't work without the drag-and-switch for maximised windows or the per-monitor taskbars. The other features are a nicety, but those are the two I paid for.

                        Lol, reminds me of the classic "You are on day 640 of your 30 day Paint Shop Pro trial" message I've seen all over the place. I wonder if they ever got that fixed with newer version. I use a nifty little tool called Desktop Resetter (I keep icons on my desktop, but need them to be organised across all the desktop by task and/or project, so loosing the arangement was setting me back half an hour while I carefully moved them back). The license lets you use it 20 times then you have to pay £5 to get a license. I tried once after a couple of months of having it save my life only to find the system kept timing out. I haven't bothered again since then. My number of uses is so large now it doesn't fit in the label control. I should write a program that looks out for the nagscreen, enables the continue button and clicks it... Too much effort though, I'll leave it a few more months then see if the registration service is working again.
