Well , that would be it then . The second line says HAL (sw vp) , which I'm taking to mean that the chip is incapable of processing all functions in hardware , and therefore not up to the task of running the screensaver . No big deal , and not a surprise as this machine has to be having a good day to even play a DVD properly . It runs just great on my laptop , which is where I do 90% of my graphics based stuff anyway . Thanks for your help Jim . I guess that's one vote for putting Celeron D / SiS 661FX on the not recommended hardware list .

Changing the res & 16/32 bit , or running in windowed mode didn't make a diff - just for reference .
