Please download the trial versions of Marine Aquarium and Goldfish Aquarium and install them. If both of them run ok, things get weird, but maybe it's like Feldon31 says and Sharks is a little too much for your built-in graphics chip. The solution is to buy a new graphics card (unless you're using a laptop). Depending on what kind of graphics port you have (PCI/AGP/PCI-Express) you have to get a matching card, but otherwise it shouldn't cost you more than ~$40 to get a card that can handle 3D alright. These guys will fill you in while I'm away.
Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
