MA freezes after time
Mine freezes after about 30-40 minutes of continuous display, freezing up my whole machine so I have to cut the power. The bubble sound can still be heard, though.
I've updated to the latest video drivers. Setup: Pentium 4 2.2 GHz, 1G RAM, ATI Radeon 8500, Win XP Home. |

It sounds like video card problem (AGP). Try more stable drivers.
Sincerely,

Or Overheating.
Set the Aquarium to 16-bit color and the "Limit Frame Rate" to 58fps.

Those using McAfee
Here is one. When I installed McAfee Anti Virus 7 My Screen Saver was very, very slow and almost frooze.
All my progs were really slow now as well. What the @#%#* I took some options off and stoped the running of scanning files off from McAfee 7 and now everything is back to normal. Whew!

I'm experiencing that now with the new Norton Antivirus. My whole system is very slow now. I should have stuck with 2002 but the full rebates sucked me in.

Erggh. Well, it looks like the problem is hit and miss. The other day I had my computer on all day while I was at work and it was fine when I came home. Today I go out for a few hours and it's locked up when I get back.
