Before I purchase Ultramon, a quick question. Can I run my regular, existing screensavers on Ultramon on all 4 monitors. I really don't care if each monitor runs its own pictures, but I really don't want to give up my golf course screen savers! Thanks

You would need to test this, not all screen savers will run on secondary monitors with UltraMon.

What should always work fine is running the screen saver on the primary monitor only, with UltraMon blanking the secondary monitors.

Will Ultramon run a screen saver that is pictures?

Depends on the screen saver, it would need to have a live preview mode, meaning that the small preview of the screen saver in Display Properties > Screen Saver shows the same slideshow as the real screen saver, and not just a static image.

The My Pictures screen saver from Windows works fine with UltraMon on secondary monitors, you'll be able to have an instance of the screen saver on each monitor.

My issue is when i return from screen saver, all my windows from monitor 1 are moved to monitor 3 and resized. Is this an ultramon issue?

Unfortunately I don't know what would cause this, UltraMon doesn't automatically reposition windows.

UltraMon supports saving/restoring window positions via scripts, but you would then need to run a script manually before and after the screen saver runs.
