Hi,
I'm trying to get the OPENGL screensaver fieldlines
http://www.reallyslick.com/
to run in my second monitor with not much luck, any hope of getting it working is it the way its been programmed?

I've noticed rather weird behavior with the Really Slick screen savers, some always work fine on secondary monitors, others only occasionally or not at all, or only in certain configurations.
I'll look into this, don't know yet if it's an issue with UltraMon or the screen savers.
If none of the Really Slick screen savers work on your system, it might also be due to lack of hardware acceleration for OpenGL on the secondary monitor. Nvidia supports OpenGL acceleration on multiple monitors/video cards, but ATI and Matrox don't.

OK well I have a ATI 9800 XT so I guess I don't get to enjoy OPENGL on the second monitor :(

its getting harder and harder to find the right radeon that support opengl on both monitors, back in the days of the first radeons it wasn't that big a problem

I have found that their installers place the *.scr files into your Windows root folder (C:\WINDOWS\ or C:\WINNT). In order for Ultramon to see it, you need to physically move these files to your WINDOWS or WINNT\System32 directory.

UltraMon will also show screen savers from the Windows directory.
Both the Windows (C:\Windows) and System (C:\Windows\System32) directories are searched.

I just ran the really slick solar winds on both my screens very nicely :) Seemed accelerated to me - I 'm using a radeon 9800 pro with omega 4.2 cat's.
