Hi Jim,
I find a very intresting thing in V1.1,I see the starfish fly away!Just like a bird!Can you tell me where did it go?Look this pic that I captured,there is no starfish.

My Starfish has disappearred from my screen and it won't come back. Is it eaten or just hiding? I need help with my copy of Ver. 1.1.

Take a trip over to Morgan's Help page and download the registry cleaner. Run it from your desktop and restart the Aquarium (You'll have to enter your key code again). That should bring your little escapee back on track...

Follow Tiny Turtle's instructions, and after you reinstall, leave the "Starfish allowed on Glass" box checked untill further notice. Jim is tracking this bug as we speak. Any progress Jim?

Thanks,it has been work!

Actually the Registry Cleaner is overkill, to avoid having to re-enter your key data and fish selections, you only need to go in a delete the data in the key associated with the Starfish Position "StarFishPos" located at

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SereneScreen\SereneAqua rium

The following works on a Win2K System

Create a text file named Star.reg

Add the following to it >>>>>

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SereneScreen\SereneAqua rium]

"StarFishPos"=hex:00

<<<<< Save it then double click on the file itself to import (or right click on it and select merge)

Or better yet, just click here!

I'll stick with just leaving the "Allow starfish on Glass" box checked for now. I have no idea what you just said, SonOfFlubber.

I sent in the fix last Thursday, and Prolific has had the Beta testers looking at the fixed version for the last few days, based on the theory that whenever you fix something, it breaks something else.

smg9779,

Please go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the Aquarium. Then reboot your computer.

Then please download 1.1.2 from the website (updated on Wednesday):
