Hope that helps somebody else.

I use Win 7 and here's what I did: Found the file ultravnc.ini in Windows Explorer-->Right click-->Properties-->Security Tab-->Clicked on user names until I found the one lacking permissions-->Edit-->Checked boxes to allow permissions wanted-->Okay. Returned to file, opened it, made changes, saved and exited as usual. I'm now golden as far as that goes, but I'm still struggling to a second display option to show up on the "Change the appearance of your displays" screen. Currently it says, "Another display not detected." I figured out the answer to my own question.

I've tried your method and followed every step, but I can only mirror and can not scroll to a second display. I'm running Vista. Can you help me please? Does it have something to do with my graphics card? My laptop only has an intergrated one. Hello.

The display in step 3 is not the same as the display you set in step 6. In step 3 leave Display as 0 or Auto.
