RE: screen saver will not work properly

Hi, Byte,

Thanks for responding to my question. I am currently using Serene Screen
Marine Aquarium screen saver. I thought maybe that could be the problem, so
I changed the screen saver to one that came with Windows XP. That screen
saver did the same exact thing thing. I uninstalled the Marinbe Aquarium
software, then re-installed it....and that did not help either. Could you
please tell me how to edit the registry? I appreciate any help you can give
to me. Thanks!!
