XP problem

pipbal · 02-22-2002, 12:05 PM

Hi when i install the screensaver i can use in display settings but i can get the (fish) icon on the desktop... there is no icon attached to it in win xp ???

Jim Sachs · 02-22-2002, 12:39 PM

An icon should have been created when you installed it. Did you click "Create Desktop Icon"?

pipbal · 02-22-2002, 01:00 PM

Yes i did create a desktop icon but it looks like a unknow file type
also when i click on it nothing happens??

weird i wonder if i am the only one.

maybe i can send you a print screen!!

This is caused by an Anti-Virus program interferring with the install.

Disable your Anti-Virus and you will not see this problem.

pipbal · 02-22-2002, 02:10 PM

nope thats not the problem !!

NEXT plz...

Do you have Autocad installed?

pipbal · 02-23-2002, 01:45 AM

no autocad

Perhaps it's how you created the desktop icon. Could you describe how you did that?

I let the installer do the thing but its not working , i wonder if there are other persons with this xp problem?

pipbal · 02-23-2002, 06:13 AM

this is my desktop

Well, it's possible to solve this problem manually: Go to your WinXP folder (usually C:\WINDOWS) then open the folder 'system32'. Find the aquarium.scr file there and copy and paste it (or paste it as a shortcut) on your desktop.

Tiny Turtle · 02-23-2002, 06:31 AM

OK, that looks about the same on my XP (but in Swedish of course). What happens when you click on the Aquarium.scr file in the System32 folder. Also, what happens if you do the same with the other screen savers?

Ok. Wish I knew why Windows XP is doing this on 1 out of 1,000 computers. The "SCR" file type has lost its blessing as a Screen Saver file.

We do have an automated fix for this problem!
