Hello Michael,

here some more details about my problems with MA.

I use a PPC 7300 (MacOS 9.0.4) with a Voodoo3 2000 card and a 21"-monitor (1152x870,16,7 Mio. colors).

Some times - not always - after MA was activated as screensaver, my Mac isn't able to manage a new start. I have to try it several times and if I'm lucky the Mac finishes the start process. But then the desktop is bad. I only see the selected desktop-color but no HD-icons, no Menu, nothing. The mouse arrow stops at the top, right and at the bottom of the screen. But it disapears on the left side. Wherever?

The installed software "FinderPop" helps me to open the control panel for the screen solution and for the colors (this seems to be the only way to get in contact with these control panels). There is then no pre-selection for the colors and the resolution visible. When I choose again the normal solution 1152 x 870 and 16,7 millions of colors all will be o.k.

So it seems that MA causes sometimes a process which deletes the settings for the screen solution and the colors. The problem occurs when I selected "1152 x 870 Millionen Farben" in the MA preferences and after I changed these settings to "Bildschirmauflösung" (screen solution?)

Sorry for the bad english. Its not so easy to describe such technical problems in a foreign language.
