Windows XP problem???

cmosesii · 03-05-2002, 01:39 PM

I have the demo version .99L of the screen saver. It ran fine under Windows 98se. I just reloaded my system with Windows XP. I have a Visiontek GeForce 3 video card with the latest Nvidia drivers. I installed the demo on my machine, when I run it I get a border around the edge of the screen saver. It is about a half and inch thick and is all around the screen. I am running windows in 1024x768 mode. I have tried both screen resolution and setting it to 1024x768 but I still get the border. It is if the program is running in a slightly smaller resolution. I did not have this problem in Windows 98se, the screen saver went all the way to the edge of the monitor. I want to buy the full version now that I have XP but don't like the border problem. Any info on this would be helpful.

Thanks
Clayton

Adjust your monitor geometry to match the Aquarium.

It's running in a different mode of 1024x768 than the Plus pack.

Probably a different refresh rate.

DXDIAG->More Help->Override. Set the refresh rate to the same number used for the desktop.
