    How do I get screensaver to activate while watching vid on ext desktop


    Hello all,

    I have a screensaver that is activated. I am also running two TVs with 'extended desktop' so I can watch in the house while working on my PC screen. I want the screensaver to still come on on the PC screen, but it fails to do so if I have videos running on the TVs with extended display. Is there a way around this so I can lock my PC screen while still watching videos?

    Thanks everyone!

    Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
    I don't see how or not without a third party multiple display managing program to do it :/
    Of which I don't know of any.
