I've been using the aquarium screensaver for quite some time now. Recently I noticed some graphic glitches have shown up on the reefs. They seem to be directly related to where certain lines are when you set the view to wire-frame mode. I've since updated to 1.1, but it didn't solve the problem. I can't figure how this could suddenly happen, since I haven't messed with my card drivers or anything like that.

Here's a pic link to show the problem:

If I lower the res to 800x600, the problem goes away. If I raise the res to 1280x1024, the problem changes in appearence.

I get plenty of frame rate (75 at 1024x768) and I have plenty of ram and speed. As I said before, the screensaver ran fine for many months.

My system:

PC pentium 3 600 mhz
Windows 98
256 MB ram
Voodoo 5500 PCI
40 gig hard drive.
