I'm trying to get the primary to use the "Blank" screensaver and no screensaver on the secondary. When the primary goes into screensaver mode the second does also.
Can this be done and if so how?
UltraMon 2.5, Win XP Pro, Asus A9600XT, Powerstrip Version 5.1 (3.49 Build 438). primary monitor is a Xenarc 700TSV and the secondary is a Viewsonic PF815 (later to be a NEC XG135LC).
TIA

This isn't possible with UltraMon, the secondary monitors will always get blanked.
What should work though is to use a screen saver which doesn't have multi-monitor support. This screen saver will then only run on the primary monitor.
Please note that you'll need to manually select the screen saver in Display Properties > Screen Saver, running the screen saver through UltraMon will blank the secondary monitors.

I disabled the screen saver in Ultramon & in XP. Rebooted, then set the screen saver in XP (only) to Blank. The second screen still blanks out with the first. :(

The problem is that the Blank screen saver does have multi-monitor support, so it will run on all monitors.
You would need to find a screen saver which doesn't have multi-monitor support, for example Marine Aquarium (there are lots of others, most screen savers don't have multi-monitor support).
