From Display Properties select Screen Saver
From Drop Down select SereneScreen Marine Aquarium
Select settings select Clock & Logo
Click on the time displayed for any of the selected logos (or Clock)
Error message MarineAquarium3 Beta9 has encountered a problem and needs to close xxxx More information gives this.. with an option for a few pages more
AppName: ma3beta.scr AppVer: 0.0.0.3 ModName: ma3beta.scr

Edit.. if one selects Preview instead of Settings.. then one can make changes the normal way while the SS is running in the preview mode  
Ralph, thanks for supplying complete step-by-step instructions. ant, your illustration allows me to duplicate this. Both of those postings clarified what "click on time" meant.

It looks like clicking almost anywhere at the bottom of the Clocks and Logo selection screen (anywhere around where it says "Show this logo for ... n seconds") causes the crash.

It's not dependent on whether the installer version has been run, or the name of the .scr file, etc.

Probably akin to the previously-squashed bug.
