Hi there !
I just tried Ultramon 2.4 because I wanted to have a screensaver run on monitor 1 ( my TFT, primary ) and keep on watching movies on monitor 2 ( my projector, secondary ) so I don´t have to manually switch of monitor 1 each time I watch a movie.
I thought Ultramon could do this, however, each time I load a sreensaver only for mon1, the second monitor blanks out too. There is no screensaver running on monitor 2 thats right, but I could not find a way to keep on watching my movie on mon 2 while running a sreensaver on mon1.
Could someone please tell me if I am doing something wrong or if Ultramon cannot do this yet ?
Thanks,
Alex

You can do this with the UltraMon Screen Saver Player add-on, but you'll need to manually start the screen saver player, it doesn't come on automatically like the regular screen saver.

And how do you start it manually?

You can just double-click ScrPlayer.exe to start it.

Thanks for this info. I've installed the add-on and it does the job. I just have a question and a comment...
Question: when I start ScrPlayer.exe, I get a Security Warning from Vista saying "Do you want to run this file?" No matter how many times I uncheck "Always ask before opening this file", it asks me every time. Can I get rid of this?
Comment: It took me a few head scratches to turn the screen saver off. What worked for me is to move the cursor over there, click, press Esc, then close the window in the upper left corner. May be obvious enough, but probably worth mentioning in the readme file. Or maybe there's a simpler way.
Thanks,
Dave

Right click the downloaded exe and choose properties > unblock.
This is an issue with many downloaded files.

You could also press ALT+F4 to close the screen saver player in fullscreen mode.
