I have a copy of Marine Aquarium version 1.1 purchased a few years ago. My old XP machine finally died (motherboard) and it has been replaced by a new Vista based machine. It is a 64-bit Quad Core Intel chip running a 64-bit version of Vista.

I have re-installed Aquarium onto this machine and the install goes well. I can start the aquarium manually from the Programs List under the Start Button and it runs fine. BUT, the program does NOT appear in the list of Screensavers in Screensaver Settings and therefore cannot run as a screensaver (automatically).

Does anybody know how, or even if, I can get this to work as a screensaver in 64-bit Vista ??

If not, does the newer version 3 of Marine Aquarium work under 64-bit Vista ?? I hope so as I would really like to get it working on my new 22 inch monitor.

Thanks everyone.

Steve
