I've tried a few different things to allow the screen saver to run while a PowerPoint slideshow is running with no success

A quick Google search turned up this app: http://www.adingod.com/kiosk.html, but I haven't tested it. It looks kind of old, so no idea whether it will actually work or not, so try it at your own risk

I'll keep this on my list for now in case I come up with any other ideas.

Have a great weekend! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/getting-screensaver-to-work-when-powerpoint-is-running/?ID=015d09de-88e9-4f2f-85eb-1e5a8a22c7eb Fri, 27 Jul 2012 00:42:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/getting-screensaver-to-work-when-powerpoint-is-running/?ID=015d09de-88e9-4f2f-85eb-1e5a8a22c7eb DisplayFusion I have powerpoint running on one monitor, other work on the other monitor. Powerpoint somehow stops the screen saver from working on either monitor. I installed display fusion and whilst the screen saver works on the preview mode in the settings for display fusion, it doesn't work when this is saved. Suggestions? ]]>
