Why did you put it in the Windows folder? That's not where it's supposed to go.



You uninstalled it, and now it works? That's really confusing. I get the feeling that I'm missing something.

OK, thanks for doing that.

At least you now have it installed correctly, now.

I'm at a W7-32 machine right now, but I'll try that on W7-64 later today.

Don't do that.



OK, try the following (after making sure no copies are running - a reboot would be safest):

1. Delete all MarineAquarium3.scr and MA3Beta.scr files from \system32\.

2. ...

Well, now I'm confused. Where do you put the .scr file that you download?

And in particular, why do you have to create a desktop icon when you already have one?

I don't dispute that's the way it works in XP. I didn't test XP's behavior.

Thanks for the report.

Curiously, I did not uninstall 10d - as previously reported, I essentially just put the new .scr file in the system32 folder.

In my case, the "disappearing playlist"...

Suggestion: if the date-circle turns out to be separate code, you might consider letting the user optionally turn it off (like the second hand feature).

For future reference, how did you "remove the installer version"? Uninstalling it through Programs and Features? Or some other method?

And what were the symptoms you saw before removing it?

Just making sure that I'm clear. I have both .scr files (10d and 11e) in C:\Windows\System32.

Double-licking on the 10d .scr file does not ask for permission - it just runs.

I'm aware that you don't have Windows 7 - but it's "supported", isn't it?
