I'm using 3.10 and I've looked everywhere but can't find the UltraMon Screensaver options screen where I can choose different SS for each monitor. If I right click the systray icon and choose Screensaver, Change, I get the Windows screensaver screen, not Ultramon.
Also, what I want to do is optionally blank the other monitors when watching a video, but it's not on the primary. I did get the Screensaver Player and set up 2 shortcuts (to run the Marquee SS with black background and no text cause I couldn't find another way) but 1- I can't figure out how to launch both at the same time (a VB script?) and 2- I have to stop each one separately and it then goes to a small black window that I have to close manually. Is it possible to make it/them disappear or close automatically like a real screensaver would?

To go to the UltraMon screen saver manager, click on Change, then select UltraMon from the list of screen savers and click on Settings.
You'll get this behavior if advanced mode is enabled, you can disable it on the options tab under settings for the UltraMon screen saver. In advanced mode, selecting Configure from the menu will open settings for the currently active screen saver, otherwise it will always open the UltraMon screen saver manager.
Regarding the screen saver player: the best screen saver for this would be the Blank screen saver, which is C:\Windows\System32\scrnsave.scr on Windows 7.
Terminating the screen saver player automatically in response to mouse movement etc isn't supported, but it would be possible to create a script which launches a screen saver player instance on all but one monitor, and if you run the script again it closes all screen saver player instances. Let me know if you would be interested in this.

Yes, thank you I would be interested. I was trying to figure out how to create it myself but I am not really familiar with VB. I also still use XP but I think the blank screensaver is the same.

I have uploaded a script which does this, ToggleScrPlayer.
The Blank screen saver is also named scrnsave.scr on XP, and is also located in C:\Windows\System32.

Thanks! One last thing: Is there anyway to set Windows to not prompt on ALL .vbs files, or rather just the ones I say are ok?

Ignore previous message. I just saw the checkbox hidden in plain sight (!) to prompt me every time for "this" file. Doh!
