I have a two monitor application where the primary monitor is the monitor that the OS boots up on and shows the task bar. The second monitor is a touch screen monitor that is used in a kiosk application. I have Ultramon setup so that each monitor is displaying a separate screen saver; however, the screen saver does not stop if a user touches the touch screen. It only stops if the mouse is moved. Is there any way to get a touch to stop the screen saver?
Thanks.

UltraMon is only watching mouse movement/clicks on the primary monitor (the mouse is centered on the primary monitor during screen saver startup).
I have uploaded a modified version of UltraMon Screen Saver.scr that also monitors mouse movement/clicks on secondary monitors:
Windows 98/Me: umsaver_win9x_b7.1.zip
Windows 2000/XP: umsaver_winnt_b7.1.zip
To install the updated file, extract the ZIP to your Windows directory, usually C:\Windows or C:\Winnt.
Please let me know if it works, I can't test this myself.

That did the trick. Thanks! I've got seven kiosks that I may use this on. I'll have to run it by my customer and then I'll purchase the licenses. Thanks for the quick response

so, am i right in assuming that running ultramon with numerous touch screen lcd monitors it simply reads the input from all monitors as one continuous virtual desktop? and is it feasible to have independant simultaneous input to several seperate screens?
other stuff

I don't know how touch screens work under Windows, but my guess would be that it's the same as with multiple mice: they can be used concurrently, but you'll only ever have a single pointer.
UltraMon doesn't change the way input from touch screens is treated by Windows.
