The Wal-Mart version is a very old version intended for people who are not interested in spending $20 on the latest version.

I realize that not all regions have stores that carry the full-featured Marine Aquarium 2 product (CompUSA, MicroCenter, Fry's).

All the problems you describe affect high-end computers running the old version of the Aquarium.

I would definitely upgrade at SereneScreen.com to the newest version which is 2.0 MD. It has 6 more fish and a Starfish, an awesome control panel, Widescreen/Dual monitor support, and CPU throttling controls to run on any kind of motherboard/CPU combination. It also knocks out that infinite sound bug.

Yes, you have 1.0. The upgrade to 2.01 is $5.95. Just go to http://www.SereneScreen.com and click on the "Upgade to 2.0" button.

It doesn't really matter whether you uninstall the older version or not.
