Win XP Aquarium screen saver


has anyone else seen the aquarium screen savers that comes with Windows XP Plus??? its the coolest thing. the fish swim back and forth and around the rock work and look pretty 3D. Its quite an improvement from the old aquarium screen savers. There's also some nice corals but unfortunately they're not animated. The best thing of all.... no cyno breakouts!!!!!

Oh my god I hated ME, that thing sucked so bad. I had to reformat my HD like 2 times with that bugger. XP is pretty good, well for a windows program anyways.

Thumbs up

I switched right when it came out.. What a bummer.. Had to go driver hunting like a mad man. Once I finally got all of the drivers and updates in place it has been rock solid. Don't bother trying to do an upgrade to XP do a clean install and you will have a lot less problems. Have been running steady since Jan and no crashes.

I have the serenescreen. It gets predictable and boring after a while. One that looked even better was mentioned in this thread. It is customizable and it looks like you can even "build" your own tank to watch. You can go to http://www.clubaquatica.com/ to get it.

So far I really like XP, I though I'd have trouble with my drivers loading so I got them all onto a CD before I did a clean install of XP. after the install was done it loaded all the right drivers... a very nice suprise. I only have one problem. I used to be able to watch TV on my computer but I can't with XP because its not able to use the component that does this.
