Hello. I have been using Ultramon 2.3,2.4 and 2.5 and everytime i am using the screensaver in order to have two different screensavers, i see that my CPU usage is 100% and so my temps go up. Is there any way to fix this please? I have been having this problem since i first installed UltraMon, even on fresh windows install. Any help is really really appreciated.
System specs
P4 3.2Ghz
Asus 9800 XT
Catalyst 4.5

That's probably due to the screen savers you are using, if both are quite CPU-intensive you'll get higher CPU usage.
I tested with 3 standard Windows screen savers (Beziers, Mystify and Starfield), one on each monitor, and didn't get more than 4% CPU usage. That's with a dual Xeon 2.4 GHz, with Hyperthreading enabled, on Windows XP SP1.

Well i am testing this on Beziers and Mystify. My machine is not slow as well:
p3 3.2@3.65Ghz
Asus P4c800-E Deluxe
2 gigs Ram
This has always been happening even on fresh windows installations.

Maybe it's a conflict with some other application, or another application uses a lot of CPU if the screen saver is started.
If you have also tested on a fresh install without any applications installed, I don't know what the problem might be unfortunately.
If you find out anything else, let me know and I'll try to reproduce the problem.
BTW, I only let the screen saver run for 1-2 minutes, if CPU usage only increases after several minutes let me know.
