    Most people hate screen savers and the first thing they do is switch them off. Can't believe someone wants two of them!

    Forget screen savers and just put your monitors into power saving mode, better still switch the PC off.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    I don't want 2, i want a piece of software that will allow me to run one on my 2nd monitor.

    And i wont be running it on all the time anyway as that will cost me money which i don't like :)

    What screen burn? LCDs don't suffer from it by the way they work and all but ancient CRTs have had that problem reduced to zero for all practical purposes.
    Some of my vista gadgets burn marks into my LCD screen as they are in the same place the whole time.

    Plus my wallpaper has writing on, which burns into the 2nd screen as the screensaver only works on the 1st screen ;)

    Not a permanent burn, but can be on there for a couple of hours.

    That's not burn. Burn is when either a plasma or phospor is actually burned/etched into the screen. There's neither plasma nor phosphor in LCD. LCD is simply flipping the pixels. Any image persistence in LCD is not permanent. Your LCD must have quite lazy pixels.
