Cherylc,

Go to your Start button and then click on find. Type in fish.scr in the blank, this will let your computer search every file on your harddrive so that you can find where the program was placed.

The Aquarium99L.exe downloader at www.serenescreen.com has never been Windows 2000/XP friendly.

The only roadblock is the inability of any of these self-extracting programs like WinZip to write to this directory:

%USERPROFILE%\Desktop

I tried to make WinZip self-extractor do it, but the dumb thing MAKES a directory called %USERPROFILE% and puts the file in there. I hate it when programs try to outsmart me.

If someone has some hacking skills, make a self-extracting archive with 99L in it and hack it to write the file, instead of trying to create a directory.

I checked WinRAR too. You can't even specify a default extraction directory.

As soon as the bugs in 1.1 are fixed (most are being addressed by Prolific), then we'll have a great little 300kb installer that works on Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, and XP.
