Video Screen Saver will not display on dual monitor

[bigmoe1970]

I have installed "Windows XP Video Screen Saver Powertoy" on my dell
box with two monitors.

The VSS runs in full screen mode but only diplays half of the video on
the primary monitor but nothing is on the secondary monitor. I tried
75% and 50% as well, but the video clip is always centered between the
two monitors and only one screen showing half of the video.

Anybody know what is wrong?

TIA,

moe

I suspect that overlays are not enabled on the second monitor, if your
using an ATI card do this: Display Properties > Settings > Advanced >
Overlay (warning may apear, egnore it) > Theater mode options... >
Same on all. If your using a nVidia card I carnt help (havent used
nVidia in ages).

And if your card doesn't support overlay on both monitors try turning off
acceleration.
