Great job! Marine Aquarium 3beta1 works fine on these configurations:
OS: Windows XP MCE 2005 SP3

Marine Aquarium 3beta1 also works on this configuration but, on exit, Windows Explorer totally locks up:
OS: Windows XP MCE 2005 SP3
Hardware: E6700, 2GB RAM, ASUS P5K-E
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD2600XT 256MB PCIe, Catalyst 8.9

Digitech 7" LCD at 848x480x32
MA3b1 starts up and will run fine for hours. But, when I stop it, Windows Explorer dies ("Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.") and the system becomes completely locked up (the Start menu doesn't work and clicking on desktop icons does nothing). About the only thing I can do is Ctrl-Alt-Delete to Restart Windows. This occurs even at lower resolutions (e.g., 1280x720x32). I believe this problem is caused by a conflict with the Display Fusion utility (v2.1.1,
http://www.binaryfortress.com/displayfusion). When I stop this utility, MA3b1 stops with no problem, and when I restart Display Fusion, stopping MA3b1 causes the problem described above. However, I don't want to do without this utility because it allows me to set different desktop wallpaper on each monitor (e.g., a photo on the main (HDTV) screen and a solid-color background on the 7" screen).
Also, I have an enhancement suggestion that applies to this configuration: As listed above, this machine has two monitors, one of which is a 7" touchscreen LCD built-in to the front of my Zalman HD160XT HTPC case. I use this screen to display information from the ASUS motherboard monitor (PC ProbeII) and from various Yahoo Widgets (SysMonitor, Weather, analog clock, sports scores, etc.), and I would prefer that this information remain on display while the screen saver is running on the main (HDTV) screen. But MA3b1 only offers two options for each monitor:
o Display screen saver on this monitor
o Display nothing on this monitor
Would it be possible to provide a third choice, to let it continue to display whatever was running there (it is an LCD, so burn-in isn't an issue)?:
o Leave this monitor unchanged
