i recently updated my computer to windows xp professional and the marine aquarium, which once worked great on my computer, now does not show any textures. i have tried other prolific products like the goldfish aquarium and have the same problems with those. when i press s to look at the framerate, etc... it says "60.11 fps (553x407x32) Direct#D HAL, VSyncCLAMP, N414.2.0.5590". i am running windows xp with the most up to date directx9.0b, and my video card is a 3dfx voodoo 5500. i would appreciate any help someone could provide.

Try pressing [Ctrl] + [T] on your keyboard. Note that you must've unchecked "Exit on mouse move" in the settings ( [Space] while the SS is running)

thanks for the help....thats all it was. i thought i was having some driver problems maybe with the voodoo card since 3dfx never really made any xp drivers for it. thanks again for your time and help.

You were having some problems because of the Voodoo. Are you using the "Cairey" drivers with your XP?
