I'm not sure if this a bug or a compatibility issue since I had the exact same problem with MA2.6...

I can run MA3 (and MA2.6) as a stand alone program and have no problems at all at max resolution (1920x1200x32). Once I install and use as a screen saver I get all kinds distortion. The fish and coral look ok but the screen shears and tears.

With MA2.6 I finally got it to work with out issues by changing the resolution to 1600x900x16 and using the wide screen option. So far with MA3, changing the resolution to 1920x1200x16 seems to work ok.

If this is the way it has to be to work then so be it, but i just find it odd that I have no problems with it until windows wants to use it as a screen saver.

BTW--beautiful job on MA3 Jim. I can't wait to see the final product!!

Thanks
Jim
