Inside: SereneScreen Fan Forum - View Single Post - Bug: Unconfirmed MA 3not showing up in screen saver selection

I downloaded the MA3 beta installer and installed it. The first time I installed it, I did not set it as my default screen saver. I just left it in my Start menu so I could run it at my leisure. When I went to set it as my default screen saver it was nowhere to be found. So I went to the start menu, right clicked on the file and chose Install. This put the aquarium in the screen saver panel.

The next day, I leave my computer idle and I get no screen saver. I check my screen saver panel and no MA3 and my default screen saver was set to "None". So I re-installed, this time allowing MA3 to be my default screen saver. The next day, the screen saver doesn't kick in and I check once again and no MA3, and the default screen saver is set to "None".

I seem to remember a similar issue with one of the versions of MA2, where a space in a registry setting had to be removed in order to get it to stick in the Control Panel.

Is this a bug with the installer or is this some other issue?

Thanks in advance.
