I'm having the following problem with version 1.1, and I'd like to see if any of you can help. I am running Windows ME:

Whenever the aquarium is running and another program interrupts (error message, internet pop-up, etc.) the aquarium stops on the monitor but I can still hear the bubbles, indicating that the aquarium is still running. Additionally, when I attempt to manually start SereneScreen Aquarium, nothing happens...which makes sense because the program is already operating. Also, I cannot press Control + Alt + Delete to force quit the aquarium because somehow the program disables this function. Nothing happens when I press Control + Alt + Delete. Consequently, I cannot quit the aquarium unless I restart the computer.

There is one way to get into the program once it has been interrupted. If I wait long enough (sometimes half-an-hour), the SereneScreen tab magically appears on the taskbar (along with all the other windows). If I click on the tab, the aquarium runs like normal and I can quit the aquarium by hitting escape. That's not a very good sollution because I don't feel like listening to bubbles until the thing shows up.

Can anyone help?
