Hello -- I'm sorry for the problems since I assumed it was the still the same screensaver that I have -- which is about circa CM4000 or 5000. I just redownloaded the one at the site and have encountered the same problems. Thanks for the tips John; I'll give it a shot. Graham -- sorry for any headaches it might have caused.
