In response to Jim's response at the bottom of Page 4

Sorry Jim. I just tested 99LB2 as a screen saver (started from the usual windows process). As in past versions, when shutting down Win2k complained that 'Devldr' wasn't responding. Killing 'devldr' manually via the popup notice leads to a limbo state that I recall eventually shuts down. In this case, after 10 minutes I lost patience and hit the computer power button. (In my configuration this action causes a 5 second power-off delay that Win2k interprets as forcing a shutdown before power is lost).

As noted in a previous thread, this shutdown problem doesn't happen if Fish.scr is initiated by a short-cut from the desktop, or directly.

Win2k SP2, Ati AIW Radeon, 3132 driver, MMC 7.1, DVD 4.1.0.0
and Direct X 8.0a (I think - SP2 was installed over everything)
