Hmm, weird. I have never experienced any of those problems, and I have a TNT2 card, a GeForce 1, and an old Imagine 128 Series II. (The Imagine card only gets about 2 FPS in the aquarium...but it works with no video glitches.) I find it hard to believe that Microsoft would release a version of DirectX that has such serious problems with a large number of video cards -- at least, with reasonably recent video cards. I can understand that older cards with no DX hardware support would have problems, but recent cards? Oh well, guess I won't be running the new version of the aquarium, then, at least until Windows XP comes out in its second or third service pack version (I never upgrade to a beta version or even a first release of a new OS from Microsoft). Pretty much cuts out a huge segment of your market, doesn't it?
