Heya, Tami!
Before you return your card, I'd suggest you to put it in any of your other computers, and install the drivers, to be 100% it's the card and not something that mucked up in your ordinary computer. If ATI finds there's nothing wrong with the card, you probably will need to pay a "test"-fee from them.

It's too late. I already sent it off. I put an NVIDIA card in my computer and everything is working perfectly right now. I've gotta believe it's the card. I can't think of what else would cause half of my screen savers to not work. I should of thought though to throw it into another computer before I shipped it. Oh well. We'll see what happens.

Hey, that's ok. You live and learn right. I hope for your sake that it was the card. I love my FX 5900, but to spend that kind of money and have it not work is just a shame. I hope you get your new card back soon so you don't have to wait to long.

Because he might get one that actually WORKS this time.

I think she'd most likely get a working card if buying one made by ATi as well. It isn't like just about every ATi card is defective, y'know...

PROBLEM SOLVED. I had a bad ATI card. ATI replaced it with a new one for no cost. Aquarium screen saver works perfectly now.
Thanks everybody for all your help, support and advise.
