Different twist on dual monitor / screensaver


I've looked at other threads related to using a screensaver with dual
monitors. I'm on another planet, I guess.

For months, when the screensaver kicked in Vista 64 would black out
monitor #2 and display my pictures on monitor #1. Perfect! Unlike all
other threads I've seen, that's just fine by me.

But I recently changed motherboards. Vista 64 required me to re-install
a few things, including video driver. Now, the screensaver displays one
photo split 50/50 between my two different-sized monitors.

I'd be DELIGHTED to get back to the behaviour everyone else complains
about: photo showing in its entirety on monitor #1, nothing on #2. Can
anyone help? (I know about Ultramon).

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you have the desktop stretched over both displays rather
then having them act as independent displays. Check your configuration.

No it's a different screensaver. You know, the one with YOUR picture with
your head up your ass.

Are you using someone elses brains? You have none.
