hi jav,
i also have a funny prob. when i have an applet running with a game on it every so often an ad comes up. then i turn my saver on.when game comes back it knocks the saver into the ether somewhere. the only way to get it to work again is to do a restart and that means getting back on net. with vL it would just turn saver off,but i could bring it right back. if i disable the exit on mouse in v1 it pushes ss to bottom window open bar on desktop and then i can bring it back easy.
i have a baby hp 6736 700m with an added 256 for 319 ram. and just 5.5 vid memory. ss works great on 10x7 res,28-9fps, on 8x6res,get 42-3fps. mostly watch on 10x7res. if ss in windowed mode with e on m disabled it is not affected at all. jim probably has thousands of hours invested in this masterpiece, but, it sure was worth it.
