Running the latest Ultramon (3.0.10) on Windows 7 x64. I have a few issues with the screensaver. First of all, what's this "preview" mode about? Say I am running Ultramon's Bubbles screensaver. If I check the preview mode box, the bubbles are confined to the main monitor, and if I uncheck it, the bubbles span both monitors. Isn't it supposed to be the other way round?
Also, what's this Enable/Disable option for? So far it looks like it's not doing anything!

Screen savers have a special preview mode, UltraMon uses this to run screen savers without multi-monitor support on secondary monitors. You can also use the preview mode option to restrict a screen saver with multi-monitor support to a single monitor.
For most screen savers preview mode should be identical to the regular mode, but that's not always the case, for example some screen savers only display a static logo in preview mode.
Screen Saver > Disable/Enable will disable/enable the screen saver. Works fine for me on 64-bit Windows 7, I'm not sure why this wouldn't work on your system, UltraMon basically just tells Windows to either enable or disable the screen saver.

I found the screensaver inconsistent as well. I didn't have a problem getting it to run two different screen savers on different monitors, however the effect was not as expected. The ribbons screensaver worked as expected on monitor 2, but the bubbles were extremely small, and the background didn't show through. This was not consistent with what the preview screens showed. Second, I couldn't run two separate photo slideshows on different monitors, it kept using only one directory of photos for both monitors (even though the preview screens in the screen save dialog showed it correctly). Using Windows 7 Ultimate - 64-bit.
