Gary, a possible reason for that the PlusPackVersion works alright and 1.1 doesn't is that the former uses DirectX 8.0 and the latter DirectX 6.0.

The reason 1.1 isn't DX8 based is that some of the screen-saver libraries used are incompatible with Win 95/98/Me. Jim has talked about bringing the Aquarium over to DX7, but I'm not sure when we'll see such a transition.

I'm not using a nVidia-based card myself so I can't really offer any personal advice on the driver issue except trying around is generally a good idea.

Oh, and welcome to the forum!

Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
