Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Screensavers went blank, reinstalled, now only 1 works

After having Ultramon installed for about a week, suddenly I had two blank screen savers. I had not made any changes to Ultramon as it was running the two screen savers as I wanted.

So I uninstalled-reinstalled, now I only have screensaver on primary monitor, second is blank.

Also, I noticed that it would take a minute or two even, for screensaver pix to begin to appear. On top of that when coming back from screen saver after moving mouse, it must be 30 seconds before I get my desktop back.

Info: Vista Ultimate SP1 1.25 GIG RAM, 2 Acer 20" X203Wdb:
2 monitors

Which version of UltraMon are you using, and what screen savers do you have assigned to the primary and secondary monitor?

Using version 3.0 and I've got the My Pictures screensaver assigned to primary and another custom photo folder assigned to the secondary

I'm not sure why this worked for you initially, but for me the Photos screen saver from Vista never worked with UltraMon. I would recommend using a slideshow screen saver like gPhotoShow instead.
