Jim,

Bandwith limitation is indeed a very good reason, point well taken! Keep up your great work, your aquarium is AWESOME!

You are correct, MS has fixed the 'white texture problem' with their driver update but the official MS drivers *do not* offer glide/opengl support. (This is not the fault of MS - 3dfx is out of business, part of it was sold to nvidia, nvidia refused to provide the sourcecode to MS)

The white texture problem is unfortunately not limited to directx 8.1 - I've ran win ME until 6 weeks ago and had the same problem
with directx 8.0a when I started the aquarium demo (my current OS is win xp pro, clean NTFS install on a fresh formatted drive)

Feldon23,

What kind of update are you referring to? WinXP has directx 8.1 already integrated. Or did I miss something?
