Intel Unite comes in many different varieties. It is important that the version you use can be operated in ‘Windowed’ Mode as opposed to ‘Full Screen’. Version 4.0 of Unite no longer provides a windowed mode.  In Full Screen Mode Intel Unite starts full screen and prevents other applications from running. Thus, Quicklaunch and any other applications are prevented from running.


Intel Unite that is included with the Logitech Bundles does have a Windowed Mode. Intel Unite may have an option in the administration application or you may need to set the registry. It is also possible that the version provided may not have a ‘Windowed’ Mode.


Here are the Reg Keys needed for Unite to Operate in Windowed Mode (This is already set in the Logitech Kits)

Create Key Unite under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intel

Create the following DWORDs under the Unite Key:

WindowedMode with a value of 1

ShowOnlyInOneMonitor with a value of 1
