I have an HP 6910p laptop running Windows XP.  When I run the Screensaver using only the built in LCD display, the Newsgator Screensaver seems to work fine.  When I turn on my external 22" LCD display set to extend my desktop, the screensaver partially runs.  There is no text displayed for the RSS feeds.  I get a black screen with the logo moving around on the laptop display, no text displayed at all.  On the external display, I can see all my applications.  The external display does not change when the screen saver "kicks in".

Anyone have any ideas?

Are you using the built-in windows desktop settings to extend the desktop, or a HP or other 3rd party tool/add-on

I believe I am using the windows setting.  If I check under Display Properties, in the Settings tab, and then select my external monitor, I see the "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" checked.

That scenario wasn't tested during development. I'll add it as a bug but have no ETA on any new releases.
