Forums -> Multiple monitors -> dual ssmypics screensaver issues

I'm trying to run the standard windows slideshow screensaver on both monitors but with different directories of pictures on each. I tried copying the screensaver file and telling ultramon to put the copied file on the second monitor, but all the copies seem to be sharing the same settings file. I change the directory on one and it's changed on the other as well. I can't seem to find a good slideshow screensaver elsewhere on the net either. Nothing I've tried will handle my 23,000+ pics. Any suggestions?

If the picture viewer program for the screensaver is an actual .scr file then try copying that file and making a second one named *2.scr and setting that one as the screensaver for the other monitor. If that doesnt work then try to find a program on the internet that is a pictures screensaver.

You'll also need to make a small change to the copy of the screen saver executable, see this thread for details.
