Screensaver - Dual monitor set up

[jdXp610]

I am the lucky owner of a dual monitor set up.

I have done some searching on here but the database is huge lol.

So I have picked what looks like the best sub-forum to post my question.

I just downloaded a theme screensaver "Earth at Night"

Unfortunately it spans across both monitors thus the rotating Earth globe is split in half.

Is there any way I can have the screensaver run separately on both monitors simultanrously, or if that is not possible run on the primary monitor and have the secondary monitor go blank?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Not natively, but have a look at this free program which can do it.

Actual Multiple Monitors: Extended Taskbar with Support of All Windows 7 Features on Each Display.

Looks interesting but it didn't look very free to me.

Grrr, there used to be a free version

What's New in the Latest Version - Actual Multiple Monitors - Actual Tools

The older versions were freeware

Download Actual Multiple Monitors 4.3 - Desktop Enhancements

Thanks for pointing that out

Even though it's not a freebie, it still looks interesting. I have it bookmarked to check out at a later date.

Guy and Lady,

Thanks for getting back to me

I think it is possible to get a 30 day trial although I am unsure whether it is fully functional.

However I have got onto their forums and posted a "before I buy" thread to see if they can answer in the afirmative whether it will resolve my issue.

I will post back here when I hear from them

jdXp610,

Take a look at this

Zbar

it allows different wallpapers, not sure on screen savers though.

Display Fusion's Pro Standard will also do it.

DisplayFusion: Multiple Monitors Made Easy! • by Binary Fortress Software

I couldn't find any links to the last free Actual Multiple Monitors

Its hard to find freebies sometimes.

Thanks for the effort.

You know as the song goes "Knot everything in life is free" or words to that effect, or am I mixing words lol

I don't mind paying but I want to be sure what I am buying does what I want, so like I said I have written to Actual and will wait for their response.

Looks like Display Fusion has what I am after, so I will confirm then maybe the Scotsman in me will take his hand out of his pocket long enough for me to release some coin lol
