- I have had some problems as well. The major one being that my keyboard
- goes away on me. I will be typing merrily along and then it is like my
- keyboard became unplugged. I had this problem before and I could not
- figure out what was causing the problem. I reinstalled my windows. I
- ran for a long time without any screen saver. I am usually playing
- Falcon 3.0, so there was no need for me to worry. Since I am now on a
- windows kick(and a ST fan), I installed the ST saver. Within 5 minutes,
- the same thing happened. I took ST out of the load line and the problem
- went away. This really sucks! Especially when your in a DOS session
- and the keyboard goes away. Had to reach for the handy reset button.
-
- Now I use Screen Antics(tm). It works within windows screen savers and
- it is a lot more entertaining. Give it a try. It is made by seirra.

- later,
