I have followed a few of the posts on possible problems using two seperate screen savers on each monitor. I tried something simple with UM 2.7.1 demo using a nVidia Quadro NVS with two 20" Dell FP's at 1600x1200 seen as monitor 1 & 2 in both the display properties and in UM. (Screens 3 & 4 are inactive)
I open the screen saver properties of the system and insure that UM is the system screen saver.
I select monitor one in UM's screen saver menu and pick 3d flower and check the preview mode. Then on monitor 2 I select 3D Pipes. When I use LAUNCH I only get the one selected for Monitor 1 and the other screen is black. If I hit preview on each display in UM, the one on monitor 1 pops up the primary display and blanks teh secondary. When I preview the secondary, it shows up on the secondary screen but the primary shows an error saying "Preview mode not available".
I have Win XP Pro SP2.

Unfortunately I don't know what might cause this, works fine for me if preview mode is selected for the screen saver assigned to the primary monitor (3D FlowerBox).

Bummer... :\
Oh well, everything else works :)
I know that our company GPO only inforces that the screen saver be active and hard set to go off in 30 mins. They do not enforce which one we use.
Perhaps it's the nVidia Quadro drivers? I did try to allow XP to search MS for drivers, but it would seem that they redistribute a slightly older version of nVidia's stuff anyway.

It's possible, though for me it also works on my system with two Quadro NVS 285 cards (very slowly though).
I'm using the 81.95 Nvidia drivers.
