Monitor Help

I tried creating a PowerPoint to do this, but it doesn't work. So I really need your help.

I have three monitors. Number 3 is on half the time, and off the other half. (It's an iPad running Air Display.) Number 2 is a nineteen-inch LCD, and number 1 is a fourteen-inch laptop screen.

When I'm docked, I have a setup like the one below.

Code:

.. ... ................  ....  ... .  . 
...... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.................
...... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.MMMMMMMMMMMMMM..
...... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.MMMMMMMMMMMMMM..
...... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.MM,MMMMMMMMMMM..
...... MMMM:MMMMMMMMMMM.MMMMMMMMMMMMMM..
...... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.MMMMMMMMMMMMMM..
MMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.MMMMMMMMMMMMMM..
MDMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.MMMMMMMMMMMMMM..
M,MMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.MMMMMMMMMMMMMM..
M:MMMM..................................
  ........... ..... ...... ...... ......

  ^3^          ^2^            ^1^
  ......................................

When I'm undocked, I have only monitor 1.

Regardless of setup, I want monitor 3 to have a picture screensaver (like My Pictures Slideshow), monitor 2 to have information (time, date, weather, etc. and also to say "Computer not in use.") and monitor 1 to have a pipe screensaver (like 3D Pipes).

I'm running Windows XP.

Please help me!

Re: Monitor Help

I think you'd have to make your own screensaver to do that. I have very little experience with multi-display setups, though, so I'm not sure.  hmm
