I'm running Ultramon 2.5 and im having trouble getting 2 seperate screen savers run on 2 different monitors. I have a 21inch sony lcd and a 13 inch dell crt, im running off of 1 radeon 9800 256mb pro and using 2 of the screen savers that come with the gfx card drivers cd, i have the latesat drivers installed.
when i set everything up in ultramon and hit preview it loads the screensaver on the secondary monitor, then the crt goes black and the main screen saver loads on the flat screen.
does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this.

One thing you could try is to check 'preview mode' for the screen saver assigned to the primary monitor.
Please note that not all screen savers will work on secondary monitors.

Well i checked preview mode for the primary monitor and it imitated the problem the secondary monitor screen saver is having, it loads the first image of the screen saver, incredibly pixelated and crappy looking and it just shows one picture, unchecking preview mode fixes this, however Preview mode is greyed out on the secondary monitor options and i can't turn it off.

This means that the screen saver doesn't have a live preview mode, meaning it just shows a static image as the preview.
In this case, the screen saver won't work on the secondary monitor, because UltraMon uses the screen saver's preview mode to display it on the secondary monitor.
You would need to select a different screen saver for the secondary monitor, for example one of the standard Windows screen savers such as Beziers or Mystify.
