First of all, Carousel uses DirectX 7 calls and MA2.6 still has DirectX 6 calls.
Carousel runs the screensavers it starts differently compared to running MA2.6 on its own. Carousel stays in control as the screensaver.

If Carousel works, then it may give me some insights that the MA2.6 screensaver may have some problem in the DirectX 6 calls.

About 24 hours running MA2.6 under Carousel, with no observed problems from applications closing when the mouse is used to wake up the screensaver.

Not conclusive, of course. But it wasn't the video drivers on my computer, and it wasn't the mouse drivers, and you've indicated that the DirectX report looked OK and so did the MSinfo report that I sent to you, so.....

I promise to report if I see an application has closed when I wake up the screensaver.
