If Tomicjr is comfortable using regedit, he might try the following keys:

HKCU\Software\SereneScreen\ MarineAquarium3\StartWindowed
Set DWORD value to 1 to start MA3 in Windowed mode, 0 in full screen mode.

HKCU\Software\SereneScreen\ MarineAquarium3\FrameSleepTime
Set Binary data to 1e 00 00 00 to set Sleep Rate to 30 (lowest frame rate)


The usual caveats about editing one's registry apply. Namely, if you are not comfortable editing the registry directly, you probably shouldn't do so at all. It is not a good place to tinker around in since making a mistake in there can result in serious problems with your computer.
