Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Allow display of program output even when Windows Desktop is locked
« on: January 03, 2019, 08:40 AM »
The replies so far are correct: we are not allowed to install custom screen savers.   As far as using a splitter - the cameras are not physically connected to my workstation.  Rather, I use a vendor-supplied program to view the output of the cameras, and it is this program that I was hoping to (still) display on the large monitor when the desktop screensaver kicks in.

Maybe I'll investigate the custom screensaver idea or look into programs designed to manage multiple monitors and see if they have this ability...

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Allow display of program output even when Windows Desktop is locked
« on: January 02, 2019, 02:11 PM »
I have a PC that runs Windows7 Pro SP1, and has 2 DVI monitors attached to it, and one HDMI monitor.  I use the HDMI monitor to display video camera output, while the other two monitors serve as desktop for other windows programs I run (Outlook, Word, etc).  The HDMI monitor is a large, wall-mounted Samsung TV.

At our location, all of our PCs are governed by a group policy which causes a password-protected screen-saver to start after 15 minutes of inactivity.  When the screen saver starts, the monitors connected to the PC all go blank, and the PC is locked.   When CTRL+ALT+DELETE is pressed and a password is entered, the attached displays return to whatever they were showing prior to the screen saver starting.

I am looking for a solution which will continue to display (whatever is on) the HDMI monitor even when the screensaver is running.   Put another way, whenever the PC is locked I still want the video camera output displayed on the HDMI monitor.

Anyone know of a (free) program to do this?
