MA3 beta 3 and Ultramon

Splashy · 10-21-2008, 03:49 AM

The screensaver gets disabled in ultramon after I choose preview from the screensaver menu in Vista in order to launch it in a window.
However, that's the only way I could launch it in a window.
When I tried to launch it through Ultramon and then press F, the screen went black and I could only hear the music and the bubbles.
Any ideas?
TIA

Edit: as a temporary fix, I'm now using the screensaver settings in Vista instead of ultramon.
Update: I found instructions in google on how to create a batch file that will launch the screen saver. Then I created a shortcut on the desktop and assigned it to a maximized window on monitor 2. Now it launches as a maximized window on the LCD TV. Works perfectly.

Thanks for the updates, they should prove helpful if anyone else uses Ultramon.
