    Is it possible to run screen savers on dual monitors? I know regular .scrs run on both but they display indentical images.

    I am wanting to run them independently or at the very least have 2 instances running. I use an open GL scr that does not even run on my 2nd screen (it stays on desktop til power off). I can do things on my secondary desktop and my primary will stay in scr until I move the mouse onto my primary. This is what gave me the idea. If I can run 2 instances then I could use my primary monitor while the secondary was in scr also.

    Failing that I would like to have my scr use the secondary as an extended screen instead of mirrored. It is for everything else but when the scr (like Mystify) comes on they are mirrored.

    Anyone know of anyway to do this? Any other ideas.

    I think UltraMon has this feature. Not sure might want to check.
