Forums -> UltraMon™ -> screensaver not working

Hey all, i am new to dual monitors, but i love it so far

using untramon, i cant get the screen saver to go onto both monitors, either 2 copies or streched

no matter what i do the second monitor just goes blank and the screen saver goes on the main monitor.

a related problem i think is that im trying to run the screen saver to the program BOINC, dont know if anyone knows what that is, but if you click the "preview mode" the screen saver doesnt work, only an icon is shown when the screen saver is running.

also, why is "preview mode" greyed out on the second monitor?

thanks

...actually after fiddling some more
it does work with the stock windows screensavers,
just not any of the other ones i have like this BOINC, or a matrix one i have

is there any fix, or is this on their end?

UltraMon uses the screen saver's preview mode to run the screen saver on a secondary monitor, if the screen saver only displays a static image in preview mode, that's all you'll get on the secondary monitor. There's no fix for this, what you could do is run that screen saver on the primary monitor instead, and use a different screen saver for the secondary monitor.
