utilities for dual monitors?

I am looking for a couple programs designed for, or aware of,
multi-monitor setups (in Windows 98SE).

Are there any macro programs that can move the mouse onto a secondary
monitor (MacroMaker and AutoIt can not). In a DirectX game I would like
to be able to make notes, etc on the secondary monitor, without having to
alt tab out of the game. If the program can monitor the clipboard and
react to pasted images that would be a bonus, since the game does not pass
many keys along to programs running in the background.


Is there a freeware alternative to UltraMon. I'm primarily interested
that program's ability to add a taskbar to the secondary monitor, then
when applications are dragged to the secondary monitor it adds an icon to
that taskbar and hides the icon on the primary monitor's taskbar.

Have you tried AutoIt3?

Thanks for the link, but it doesn't help and I think I've about given up
trying to work around DirectX games' automatic capturing of the mouse and
single monitor restrictions. Other mentions of this I've found seem to
require the game to be able to work in a windowed mode for the secondary
monitor to be useable.


Larry;
Yes, it was AutoIt 3 that I tried, but it only moves the mouse on the
primary monitor.
