Good day

For some reason the screensaver does not want to run properly. It closes as soon as it start showing the graphics. I am running Windows XP with servicepack 2

Hi,

A couple of suggestions :

* Firstly see if the graphics card manufacturer has any updates on their web site. These are usually free, and often fix graphics problems.

* Try setting the screensaver to \'blank\', and using \'show graphics\' instead when you want to see how the model is doing. This gives more CPU power to the model itself rather than the screensaver, so it runs quicker. Also, the model is less likely to crash due to graphics conflicts.
