We have a write-up on how to handle it correctly, but it's something that the screen saver developers would need to implement.

I have tried installing a few well-known 3rd party screensavers. They work fine if I use windows to manage the screensaver (It only shows on one monitor though), but If I try to enable them through displayfusion (to have different screensavers per monitor) they either show just a black screen, or are at a really tiny resolution in the upper left hand corner.

If I use the default windows screensaver in displayfusion, and select a different one for each monitor and hit preview/let it sleep, it works perfectly fine then, but anytime I add a new screensaver, displayfusion just does not work with them entirely.

The screensavers I have installed are from reputable authors and sources, so I am strongly convinced that there is nothing wrong with these screensavers (Plus they work with the windows default screensaver manager).

Would anyone know what is the issue with displayfusion using them? I can post diagnostics logs and files if requested, I am not sure what would be needed though. I am on Windows 7 and displayfusion says it is up to date right now. ]]>
