- One of the best screen savers out there
- After using Marine Aquarium 2.0 on my Sony Vista (Windows 2000) and then a Dell laptop (XP), I tried to install it on my HP TouchSmart (Vista) and couldn't get it to work. So I purchased the 2.6 version and still couldn't get the TouchSmart to accept the screen saver when I tried to enter it in the Control Panel Screen Saver option. Maybe everyone knows this, but I found out that the trick was to once it is installed on the desktop, right click the Marine Aquarium 2.6 icon, select "install", then select specific parameters to engage the computer to default to the software when the computer is not in use. The 2.6 version comes in two main parts: Marine Aquarium which has 29 fish and a new program Goldfish Aquarium 2. Marine Aquarium as usual is a beautiful (very authentic)rendition of a coral reef. New is the crystal clock which gives date and time in 4 different settings. Although only 7 fish can be displayed at a time you can select random displays or your favorite fish (again right click the desktop icon, select "settings"). At first blush the Goldfish Aquarium appears "ho hum" with a gold fish bowl and a single fish. But wait - the software will scroll through 11 different programs: the "Piece of Driftwood" is particularly beautiful, the "Art School topview" is absolutely awesome - it defies description. Again right click the Goldfish Aquarium icon and select "settings" to taylor make your screen saver presentations.

- Mac users may not be pleased.....
- I have used Marine Aquarium in pc's for
years,it is the best aquarium screensaver
I have seen or used.
I ordered it for my I-MAC 24, since I knew it
and has a wide screen feature.
But it does not work with OS X 10.5.4 leopard
Install is fine,but when you use it,a window appears
"version does not work,ask vendor for newer version"
I returned it. - 2008-08-28, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Entertaining screen saver.
- If you love tropical fish you will like this screen saver. Easy to install and the marine acquarium is very enjoyable to watch. I particularly like having the time on the screen. It's inside the acquarium with the fish. Two things I don't care for are the number of fish allowed at one time (only 7) and that the clock has a logo on it. The instructions say I can deminish the logo size, but even though I have followed them carefully many times, the logo size is unchanged. Nevertheless, it is a pleasing, visual treat and I like it best of all my screen savers.

- Marine Acquarium Screensaver
- Just like the one I've seen at Fry's. Fish look great and it's fun to see what the starfish is up to. A fine product.
