With dual monitors, is there a way that I can have one active while the screen saver activates on the other.
I have an HDTV connect through HDMI and an LCD connected through DVI. I’m running Windows 7 Ultimate. While watching television on the HDTV with Media Center I’d like the screen saver to kick in on the LCD.

hello and welcome to the forums:)
have you configured the settings in display?

  1. press start orb
  2. type display in start menu search box
  3. click on change display settings in the control panel in results
  4. in display window left menu click on change display settings
  5. now make the monitor/tv you want the screensaver to work on 1 or 2 (its display 1 on mine) 1 will be the primary display windows will use.

(you can drag the boxes with the mouse to position)
