Hi guys , my query is I want 3 PCs to operate seperately in general terms but then after a set time go into screensaver mode but have the screensaver run across all 3 screens.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this???
Thanks
Jim

This should work fine if the screen saver has support for multiple monitors, for example all the screen savers included with Windows support multiple monitors.

Hi Christian , thanks for the reply. Im not sure you understood the question however.
I need the 3 Displays to run the screensaver as a multiscreen app , but they will all be controlled individually by their own PC performing their own functions when not in screensaver mode.

Synergy 2 might be able to do that, in addition to enabling you to use a single keyboard and mouse seamlessly among all 3 computers, and copy and paste between computers.

Oops. I meant Synergy-Plus, which is a much more up to date version.

Definately closer Eric :) , but Im still not sure.
Essentially the 3 PCs need to operate very indivually , and all at the same time. This may cause the issue with synergy. But after a period of inactivity on all PCs , ie nobody has used any of them, they go into a screensaver which multiscreens across all 3 displays.
Im still not sure this is even possible

Misread your question, sorry about that. I would also recommend taking a look at Synergy or Multiplicity, but I doubt that this will work.
