Hi Ben, and welcome to the forum!

Yes this is a known problem (but no worries for asking it anyway). The thing is that the G200 runs out of video RAM in the later versions (my G200 Mill only had 8MB and experienced the same thing). Possible this specific problem would be solved by adding the 8MB upgrade that was (ok, were) available for this card. I don't think you would find that upgrade any cheaper than a brand new budget video card (we're talking about ~$30-40 for a new card) which would handle the aquarium (as well as other 3D applications) several times better than the G200 does.

Feel free to ask more on the subject (and perhaps update your info with a location so we know which market/currency we're talking about).

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.
