Ghost window coming out of Screensaver

DerikaLena · 04-29-2009, 11:13 AM

Ever since I put Marine 2.6 w/Goldfish Aquarium 2.0 on this pc I have noticed that when moving the mouse to bring my pc back to a normal desktop I see a flash of a black, small window. I purchased this bundle from Worldstart.com and it also has Carousel to alternate aquariums. Any solutions as to how I can make the little black ghost window go away? I have uninstalled the product and don't have this problem when coming out of any other screensaver I have, just this bundle I mentioned above.

Thanks......Derika

Sounds like a vid card or dx issue.

I'd make a wild guess that Carousel might be the problem. You're the only one I've ever heard mention this problem and you're the only one I've heard of that's running Carousel.

Try running without Carousel and see if you still have your ghost.

Thanks for the replies and I will re-install and just use the Marine or Goldfish ones and see if your correct about that ghost window. Will report my findings. Seeing that this is a pretty new computer, I don't think the vid card or dx could be it...Thanks again

Have you tried Marine Aquarium 3 yet?

No feldon I haven't..I was thinking I should. Since I just purchased this version 2.6 what would an upgrade be?

Just finished installing and testing the screen savers without Carousel and that little black window disappeared......Thanks for the suggestion
