Need the URL of a free Marine Aquarium 2 Screensaver

[Anonymous]

My wife saw Windows XP's screensaver "Marine Aquarium 2" today in the
computer department of a local store---and she wants it.

I have searched the net for free Marine Aquarium screensavers, but have
found none. (What I *FOUND* was that the phrase "free screensaver" has
been redefined on the Internet to mean: "costs less than $25.")

Does anyone know where I can get Marine Aquarium 2 (or one similar to
it) for free?

Not Marine Aquarium but this one at:
http://simaquarium.com/
offers photorealistic fish. The free version is a plain tank -- no plants,
rocks, etc. -- but the water and lighting effects make it seem like you're
viewing a webcam located on the ocean bottom somewhere.

They seem to have changed the distribution somewhat. I dl'd mine a couple of
years ago as a standalone file. Now it seems you simply download one file.
Probably once you register, it unlocks the other tanks. I can't say for sure
though. Give it a try. . .

Thanks for the tip Michael, but that isn't going to work. Simaquarium
doesn't look "free" to me because it comes bundled with all of the
payware versions in a single downloaded file. That makes me very
suspicious.

Any other possibilities?

Unfortunately, no. I did an exhaustive search of freeware aquariums some
time ago and never found one better. I could email my file to you. It's only
2.3 megs but. . . it is an exe, so all the usual precautions apply. If
you're interested let me know where to send it. . .

I really like Marimo Software's Fishsaver2 v.1.2. However, the download
link at the (Japanese) website:


http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?h...creen+saver&num=100&hl=en&lr=&sa=G&as_qdr=all

(translated page, and link may wrap)

doesn't work, so I'll post the download in alt.binaries.freeware for you.

Note that you must have a good video card to run this one.

Sorry, but I spoke too soon. The .zip file is 3 mb, and when I try to
upload it, Thunderbird locks up.

Hi John,

Well, it's been three hours and I don't have the message that you sent.
Swissinfo is a free email service and the 3MB file may have exceeded
their limit---I honestly don't know.

Thanks for trying!

Hi Susan,

I downloaded the file and activated it. It switched my monitor from
1024x768 to 800x600 and displayed a error box that was written in
Japanese.

Thanks anyway! I appreciate your help!

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't tried v 1.6 but version 1.5 works
fine on my Win XP box. I downloaded it from the archive above but it's
now been replaced by version 1.6. You might be able to find v 1.5
somewhere else. Look for fs2v15a.zip (9069 KB)

A Google search on fs2v15a found several links, but all led to a "file
not found" error or had already been updated to 1.6.

Evidently something in your OS/computer set-up is causing the problem
you had. . .

I downloaded v 1.6 and gave it a *quick* trial. No-install (unlike v
1.5) - I ran FishSaver2v1_6.scr after unzipping and it worked fine. I
didn't check out the various .ini files. . .

Never saw this warning! When I clicked on the link you pasted
Thunderbird warns me:
TBthinks this site to be suspicious. because most legitimate sites uses
names instead of numbers.

Did you try to click to the url you pasted using TB ?

Did you visit the site ?

This teaches me a lesson: I should NEVER give my attention to another

The CORRECT email address is director<at>swissinfo<dot>ORG

Not .com like I had written before. I'm such a dunce.
