Screen Saver or Slideshow Help W/ Dual Screen Rig Hi. I want to have slide show show on 2 screens, also be nice to have screen-saver show up on 2 screens, pics on each or alternating
I have a 64 bit Win 7 Porfessional,, 8 core AMD processor, two Asus cards in an SLI rig, 8 gigs of ram. This is a home-built rig I use for flight simulator, and streaming YouTube
My Win XP machine I use as a map computer, does not have a problem using both screens for screen - saver pics slide show. And this is an ancient machine.
Any help or point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks.

screen saver or slideshow Help With Dual Screen Rig Hi, Guy... I will try this...but it seems to me that there would actually be a setting. I am mainly interested in, transfering the slideshow to the big screen. This is not a screeensaver, is what I think. I try to drag explorer over to it, but it opens up in the smaller screen. I was thinking that if I could get it to work, screensaver would follow. I have an ancient G4, 1.25 ghz dp Mac, that I believe will row the slideshow on both screens, and definitely will do what I like in terms of screensaver, throwing up two pics consistently to both screens. I mean, this is an 8-core processor, with two vid cards.... I really expected more in the way of settngs when I added the sli. I will try it a little later on.

Having fancy hardware doesn't change the limitation of the software.
I use a program called Ultramon and can select what type of screensaver I want on each of my 3 screens. I can choose Windows Live Photo Gallery on one or all of the screens, or any combination I want, star field on the left, Gallery on the right and bubbles on the center.
