Re: Screen Saver on Two Screens

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


I have the same problem. I am tring to run two screens on a wall for a
photo album and I would like to be able to get both screens to be able
to have diferent pictures on the screen at the same time. now I can
only get one picture at a time rotating between screens and the other
screen is black.

I'm hoping to run just one screensaver simultaneously on two
screens.
At present I can only get the screensaver to run on the primary
monitor and there doesn't appear to be any standard way to
spread it
over two screens or run it separately on two screens.


My screensaver runs on both my screens simultaneously and I've
done nothing special to make that happen.

If yours doesn't work that way, I don't know why, but perhaps it
has to do with the particular video card(s) you use.

I was hoping there was a 'tweak' to allow this.
There's no mention in the user manuals for my video cards.

I'm guessing (can't try as I don't have access a dual-headed
PC) it's
not possible to have two different screen saves ... but I
would
guess that if you setup a screen saver in XP it would activate
on
both simultanously. Just a guess.

Which is it you are seeking:
(a) one screen saver to activate simultaneously on both
machines
(does this not work?), or
(b) individually configured screen savers (probably requires
special
software from the video car manufacturer if it is at all
possible ...
check user's guide for video card).
