JSI Tip 7917. When you use multiple monitors in Windows XP, a three-dimensional screen saver does not display correctly?

If you configure Windows XP to use multiple displays, a three-dimensional screen saver may not appear correctly if one or more monitors uses a screen resolution greater than 1920 x 1440.

NOTE: The following screen savers are affected:

3D FlowerBox screen saver - the shape does not move across the entire larger display.

3D Flying Objects screen saver - all displays are blank.

3D Text screen saver - all displays are blank.

When the screen saver calculates the coordinates for drawing objects, these high resolution displays may have coordinates that are not valid.

NOTE: This behavior does NOT occur when you use a single display, even at much higher resolutions.
