SUMMARY

The Clear Screen Saver tool, which is included with Supplement One of the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit, does not work correctly on multiple-monitor workstations.

On monitors other than the primary monitor, the mouse cursor is not hidden, and moving or clicking the mouse produces the same result that would occur if no screen saver were running.

MORE INFORMATION

This version of the Clear Screen Saver should not be used on machines with multiple monitors.

In addition, this version of Clear Screen Saver has not been tested with terminal services and is not recommended for use within a terminal server session.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
