Desktop Aquarium!
Wednesday, February 25, 2004 by badblueboy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Stardock has posted the new nice looking aquarium for download.It looks nice, but have a question. I've downloaded once 3D aquarium from other sites but didn't work. It seems that my graphic card (Graphic Inc. Savage X) does not support 3D. I had some problems also with Windows FX . There was a message that my card does not support certain functions.Is this one the same issue?
My OS is XP home and my PC laptop Toshiba Satellite 2800-400. I've upgraded from WinME to XP home.
Thanks in advance

The new Stardock Aquarium is a stand alone product of DesktopX Pro, if you can run DesktopX then you can run the new Aquarium

Neither Desktop X nor the new Aquarium destop requires any 3D video card support. But the problem you're having with WinFX is probably about per-pixel alpha-blending I'm not sure if DX - or this particular theme - runs better or not without it. You'd have to email Stardock support for that.

If your card doesn't have 3D support you would have hassles with the savers, never mind the aggro without accelerated 3D support!
Can't answer for the specific D/L you mention but one of the admins might be able to help.
Certainly the lack of a punchy card would screw up the screenies performance.
