Flashing on Monitor Sleep
Hey Jim, this might just be a problem with my system, but I thought I might bring it up. I have my computer set to run the aquarium 10 minutes after no activity and turn the monitor of after 20 minutes of no activity. My computer has dual 24" monitors. sometimes I will come back to my computer to find the aquarium flashing really fast only on one monitor (on the other there is no picture)but during the flashes I can see the fish and bubbles moving so the screensaver is not freezing up. Most of the time this happens overnight. My video adapter is Intel Q35 Express Chipset Family. I can press spacebar and the aquarium menu will come up on the other screen but it will be flashing also. If i exit the aquarium the desktop comes back up normal. Like I said this might be a problem with my set up but I figured I would post it. Thanks!!

sccannon,
I split the bug you reported off as a separate thread here: https://www.feldoncentral.com/forums...ead.php?t=4525

Well, that's an interesting point. I'm not sure that the Aquarium would know what to do if it's running on dual screens and one monitor goes to sleep.

They are both set to sleep after the 20 minutes.
