Having trouble getting screen saver to work. I have set to allow DF to manage screen saver. I have tried windows power settings when plugged in to time out after x hours or to never time out. When set to time out, the screen saver never kicks in, but my monitors time out and are black, except for one small LCD that goes into a no signal mode and strobes different colors all night. If I say to never time out, then they just stay on all night how I left them. The DF screen saver settings are to span all screens. Preview mode looks correct across all 3. I see no time settings for DF control or kick in.
What am I missing here?
Could you send me a screenshot of your screensaver settings?

Happy to do so, but what are the right settings to drive startup of the screen saver in DF?
Just letting it idle until it would normally start should be fine. You can also attach a hotkey to the "Start Screensaver" function in the DisplayFusion Settings > Functions tab, and run it manually.

It actaully started the screen saver over night....but it only ran on my main monitor even though I ask for span all 3. I attached the log file as requested.

If you open your registry editor and head to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\scrnsave.exe, what is the value of that key?
