I have a Win 7 Pro 64b setup with dual monitors...
I've tried several UltraMon settings but... when I use the "Photo" screensaver in Win 7, the preview looks fine in the UltraMon "control panel" but when the screensaver is activated either manually or automatically (time), the photos do not change, it stays on the first photo and never moves on. This did not happen when I was using UltraMon on my XP machine.
Other Win7 screensavers seem to work fine...'cept photo.
Bug or do I need to try another setting, or....???
(If I unselect "Preview Mode" the photos do not switch and part of the image is on each monitor - centers the image between the two monitors - not acceptible)
...hope that made some sense to someone other than me. :)

Problem solved, I took the slideshow screen saver from my XP computer and installed it on my Win 7 computer - works just like it did in XP... go figure. :)
The XP MyPicture Slideshow, ssmypics.scr, is located in your \windows\system32 folderand goes into your \windows\system32 folder on the Win 7 computer.

The Photos screen saver from Vista/Windows 7 isn't compatible with UltraMon, unfortunately I never found out what exactly the problem is.

Then maybe it shouldn't be an option on Windows 7?
You state clearly in your docs that "All screenshots are from Windows 7."
And Screen savers are a separate feature category.
Ergo, I should be able to use all available Screen saver options on Windows 7.

Other screen savers work fine, this issue is specific to the Photos screen saver.

I'm referring to offering the Photos screen saver in the dropdown list - if it doesn't work, then don't include it.
Of course, I'd prefer it if it worked. :)
BTW -> awesome software...

Photo Screensaver in Windows 7 doesn't work, but:
Google Photos Screensaver, which is part of Picaso 3, does. It works very well. In some ways, better, due to varied effects when changing images!

Correction to the above post: Picasa 3, not Picaso 3.
