Plus screensavers

[Michael Pendergrass]

A couple of my screensavers are garbled in my Plus pack. The main ones are the mercury pool, the pendulum, Da Vinci and the Plus space. I am using a Trident Cyberblade XP vid card(16 bit) Any ideas? My other savers work fine.

1) Please don't post in HTML - this is a plain text group.

2) It isn't "16 bit" it's 16MB (as in that's the amount of RAM). The
answer's simple - your card is ancient! Suggest you purchase a newer card
(though if your graphic card's that old it really makes me wonder about the
rest of your system!)

He may be set to use 16-bit colour as opposed to 32-bit or True Colour
(depending your definition)
The original poster should check that his system meets the minimum
requirements for Plus! for Windows XP at

I beg to differ on the video card. I have a Toshiba 3500 tablet pc made
for windows xp with the 16 mb Trident Cyberblade XP as the integrated
video card. Since the machine is labeled "Made for Windows XP", I don't
think the card is too old for it. But it isn't the latest greatest either.

To Miss Tick and the other replies.

Thanks for the input to my screensaver inquiries. I'm somewhat new to this. Please bear with me. Any suggestions as to another vid card I could use? I like the Ms. Tick handle.
