CTRL+S Not working

I read this afternoon that if your screen is jerky or slow to hit the "S" key...if that works, hit CTRL+S then your spacebar and then click exit and it will save the CTRL+S settings in your registry...well everytime I hit "S" it smooths it out perfectly (with the dialog at the top left of the screen) THEN I hit the CTRL button and it clears the screensaver back to my desktop!!!

Were the instructions wrong?

And after you hold down Ctrl and press S to stabilize it, as long as you exit the Aquarium with the setting on, it will be saved and remembered the next time.

There are many other settings that are saved between Aquarium sessions including the position of the starfish and the Matrox/3dfx texture compression workaround (Ctrl-T).
