No 3.3 Upgrade from 2.6?

Nazrex · 08-26-2023, 01:38 AM

Greetings...
I've been using SereneScene's Marine Aquarium 2.6 for a very long time now...

In fact I still have the original digital download file for my original v2.5 as well as its original registration code... and original v2.6 upgrade and its original registration code.

I absolutely love it! I love just sitting and watching it on my 2560x1440 screen, its beautiful and gorgeous, and I just never bothered to use any other Screen Saver since I bought it... and have been using it ever since!

That is, until just a few months ago when I had to replace my PC and it now no longer works with my new Intel ARC A770 Video card... the sound works, but the screen remains blank and black.

But, I then discovered that there is a new v3.3 and after trying out its Demo, I found that it DOES work just fine.

So I started looking for the 9.95 Upgrade.

Its mentioned in the FAQ's here.

However, the webpage the FAQ links to, appears to no longer exist on the website. So, I attempted to use the contact form on the website, and sent several emails asking about it, but never got a reply...

I then went to the Prolific Publishing website, and attempted to contact them as well... but again, no one responded.

I also noticed that Prolific Publishing IS advertising a v3.2 Upgrade, but again it links back to the SereneScene Website where the upgrade is no where to be found... and for that matter, why is it advertising a v3.2 upgrade when the the latest is v3.3?

Then somehow, I stumbled across this Forum! So I decided to register and ask here.

IS there a 3.3 Upgrade, or any upgrade available at all, and where is it, and how do I purchase it?

I miss seeing my favorite fish back on my screen!

Hi Jim, thank you for replying!

But uhm, the message board here actually won't let me send any private messages... in fact it won't let me view the member list, or the profiles of any members.

It tells me I don't have the permissions for any of that... maybe I have to reach a certain post count or something?

Almost 18 years for me!!! The only things that I've done longer are being married, and my kids are older than that. lol I mean, obviously I'm alive too, but still.

I still post on Facebook that this is STILL the only screen saver I use lol.
