Frame rate setting is in "Program Settings".

Two ways to get there:
In XP, in Screen Saver Settings, click on Settings, then Program Settings.
Or, while MA3 is running, press the Space Bar, then click on Program Settings.

Or right-click on the Aquarium window and choose Settings.

Does XP allow "right click" on Shortcut and then select "configure"?
I know you think you understand what you thought I said,
but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!

Jim, as a long-time experimenter with 3D glasses and nVidia stereo drivers, I understand your reasoning for allowing 120hz, (60hz per eye). - However, this product is aimed at a mass world-wide market, yes? - How many average user's monitors do you know of with a 90hz refresh rate? - Surely it would make sense to have the default FRL=60 ? - I have just set mine to 90, (from a normal 60), and I now have a maxed-out CPU usage of 100% .... NOT good!

Added to this, without default on-screen statistics, there will be no indication of what the FPS is set to. - I think the default should be set to 60. - Those few of your customers knowledgable enough to be operating 3D systems, will soon find out how to increase the Frame-Rate setting.
That, after all, is surely what the User Guide will be for?

Edit:-

Just done a quick check, Jim. - I think this was one of the last threads on 3D glasses.....

ps..... I still have my Elsa 3D Revelator glasses in their box under my desk, gathering dust!

The default ought to be 60, but Unlimited should always be an option, and without editing the Registry.

Cliff and Morgan - Agreed, 60 it is.

I also have my old Revelator glasses gathering dust. I don't know if there will be any way of getting them to work with the new system. The new 3D Vision glasses are all wireless.

As far as the majority of existing customers having old-school equipment, Agreed. But if I'm going to get back on track financially, I need NEW customers. As I learned with the Commodore 64, Amiga, and MA, the only way to be really successful is to be the first one on the bandwagon. If MA3.1 is one of only 3 or 4 products which can show off everyone's new 3D TV, I'll be back in the saddle again. Samsung is already using the idea of a 3D marine aquarium in all their ads.

That sounds like a good logical strategy, Jim. - Personally though, I tend to take the Ebert view.... And no! - It's not just an age thing.
