No, the problem was not completely solved by uninstalling and reinstalling Skype 4.0. It reappears in odd and unpredictable ways. The most consistent pattern is that when I am "online" and Skype is open, if I then close Skype (it remains in the system tray, however), MA3 will not run. If I then re-open Skype and leave it open, MA3 will run. Go figure. At other times, like right now, Skype is closed (but still in the system tray), and yet the MA3 application will run when I click on it.

I have settled on a compromise which allows me to avoid software conflicts which might lock up my computer and to be be sure a screen saver will run (I know that they are not really necessary, but I am old-fashioned) and yet lets me see MA3 when I need to relax watching something beautiful: I have selected another screen saver, but I periodically click on MA3 and run it as an application, letting it run as long as I feel like seeing it.
