A similar thing is happening here. - After I 'Install' MA3, and then go to: Display Properties/Screen Saver/SSMA3/Settings, - the Show Crystal check box does not work. - I don't get an error message, it just doesn't work, - and the Program Setting panel disappears! - (Without changing the check box state).
The Show Crystal check box from within MA3, (by pressing the Spacebar), still works as normal.
.... I'm using Win2k SP4.
btw. - I like the A·Q·U·A·R·I·U·M...
