Forums -> UltraMon™ -> screensavers won't run on both monitors at the same time

I just installed Ultramon and I love it. I used the screen saver option to put two different screen saves on both monitors. However, when the screensaver on the primary monitor starts, the screen saver on the secondary monitor goes black. Just a black screen.

If I click the "Preview mode" button on monitor 1 it will work, but I use Cozi Collage screensaver (shows various personal photos from my photo directory) and in preview mode it just shows the stock photos that come with it and none of my own.

Is there a way to run the regular, non-preview Cozi Collage on BOTH monitors at the same time? Or to run it on one and another SS on the other w/out having to use preview mode?

Thanks!
Joe

Sounds like Cozi Collage blanks secondary monitors, to prevent this you'll need to use preview mode, unfortunately there's no way around this. Screen savers on secondary monitors always run in preview mode, this is how UltraMon makes the screen saver run on a secondary monitor.

I would recommend using a different slideshow screen saver to display the photos, for example gPhotoShow has good multi-monitor support, and also works fine with UltraMon.
