I downloaded UltraMon and am using the 30-day trial. So far, I really really like it! If we can get around the issue that I'm finding, I see no reason why I won't buy this software!
I'm having issues with the screen saver feature, and I wonder if anyone has run into this problem before. I have my laptop, with the screen flipped up (Primary) and a monitor attached to the back of the laptop (Secondary). In Desktop Properties, I have UltraMon set as my screen saver. I open UltraMon and configure my screensavers from there. For my Primary, I have American Flag selected. For my secondary, I have Eye of the Storm selected. However, only the Primary screensaver comes active, the Secondary just blanks out. I've even tried it with Starfield as the primary, but the results are the same.
Further, if I have Eye of the Storm as the Primary screensaver, then it will stretch to both screens. And, if I have starfield as the primary and anything else as the secondary, then starfield displays in both, just falling in different directions.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Forgot to mention that I am running Windows XP and have a Mobility Radeon 7500 display adapter.

Unfortunately Eye of the Storm won't work on a secondary monitor, this is due to the screen saver not having a live preview mode (you'll only get a static image on the secondary monitor).
To restrict Starfield to a single monitor, make sure that 'preview mode' is checked.

Okay, so I move Eye of the Storm to the Primary monitor. I then put Starfield in the Secondary just for giggles. Starfield comes on briefly on the secondary, but then is overwritten somehow by Eye of the Storm. It appears that the bottom image of Eye of the Storm is being stretched across both screens. Any ideas?

Running Eye of the Storm on only the primary monitor won't work.
This is because the screen saver has native multi-monitor support, and due to lacking a live preview mode, it also isn't possible to restrict it to the primary monitor by running it in preview mode.
