Forums -> UltraMon™ -> help with VB to get screen saver on 2nd monitor
Ian   2013-05-27 09:13
it working and set up for the most part but i have been trying to set up ToggleScrPlayer (if i understand right) so i can click on ToggleScrPlayer.vbs and a screen saver starts on the second monitor and continues to play while i work on the main monitor, until i click on ToggleScrPlayer.vbs again but as i dont know anything about VB can you help??

im running xp pro sp3 and the screensaver is "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Analog Clock-7.scr" and i have it set as a screensaver on the second monitor and windows slideshow on the main monitor

Crazy? I was crazy once. I was locked in a round room and told to sit in the corner.
Corner? I couldn't find a corner! That bugged me.
Bugs? I hate bugs. They drive me crazy!

That's basically correct, but you'll need to configure the script for your needs, to do this right-click it and select Edit from the menu, then adjust the first 3 lines of the script for your setup, for example:

Const SCRPLAYER_EXE = "C:\Temp\ScrPlayer.exe"
SCREENSAVERS = Array("C:\WINDOWS\system32\Analog Clock-7.scr")
MONS = Array(2)

This will run Analog Clock-7.scr on monitor 2 when you run the script.

ScrPlayer.exe is the UltraMon Screen Saver Player add-on, you'll need to tell the script where this is located on your system by adjusting the first line.
