I just recently built this computer in February and these Aquarium screensavers never worked on this computer. I do alot of DVD video editing of home movies and record my favorite TV shows with a TV turner card in this computer and burn them onto DVD and I've never had a problem otherwise with this graphics card. This is the first time though that I've used an ATI card. I have 2 other computers that I built for my kids, and I put NVIDIA cards in those and they play the Aquarium screensavers just fine. I'm not too impressed with ATI so far and I think next time I'll go back to NVIDIA cards. I never had problems with NVIDIA. I tried the F key and it was exactly the same problem, just a smaller version.
One strange thing I ran across was as I was checking all my screensavers in XP, I found that the 3D Pipes screensaver did not work until I went in the 3D Pipes Settings and "Disabled hardware 3D rendering." All the others worked fine even the Plus! screensavers exept of course the Aquarium Plus! did not work.
