Screensaver on external monitor not working
Posted by admin on Sep 9th, 2006
I bought a new Dell Inspiron with Vista Home Premium recently. I got it all set up with my screensaver and a slide show of my photos and it worked fine on the laptop display. I have now attached a new external monitor to the laptop and the screensaver never comes on. I've gotten into all of the conceivable setting for this but don't seem to be able to make it work. What settings do I need to change to get my screensaver slide show to work on my external monitor?

Hey,Does the "Ribbons" screensaver for you work on both monitors?I have two monitors connected to my PC and it goes across both without problems.I gave the Pictures one a try and indeed it just makes the second screen black and shows pictures on the first monitor.The only way to get the pictures screensaver on both monitors would be with a program called "Ultramon" realtimesoft.com/ultramon/With that, you can set independent screensavers for each monitor, in your case selecting "pictures screensaver" for each monitor. Though it is commercial software, there might be some free alternatives on the net. "GOWYO"
