Tutorial: Show Hidden Monitor Option - Genius MousePen i608X

I'm very satisfied with my Genius Mousepen i608, and now i'm ready to change my old Genius tablet to its upgraded version - i608X. The tablet is very similar, but has higher report rate and resolution.

But there's a problem... WTF!!! It has no monitor selection option. Even with the latest driver, the monitor selection option won't show up. Is it for real, does Genius never notice that many many many budget designer and illustrator use 2 monitor instead of single large Apple-like PC?

OK! I'll show you how to work with multi monitor using Genius Mousepen i608X or later. Genius have put the script and option for multi monitor setting, but somehow they didn't success to bring it automatic-show when we install the driver.
 

Here's the steps:
1. Please make sure that your driver is v. 2.4.3.1 if it's not please download it from Genius Website and install it. (Uninstall the previous driver)
2. After driver installation make sure you have your tablet function properly, if it's not click start button, type "msconfig [enter]" then go to "services" tab and check all the boxes which has word "tablet". Restart if you're prompted to.
3. Here's the most important part. Go to C:\Genius\ioTablet\ and search for Setup.ini. Open it with notepad and change "Monitor=0" into "Monitor=1"




4. Save it, or close it and then chose "save"
5. Close all Genius application related, unplug your tablet, and plug it back in.
6. TA DA!!!
