The 3D Maze is an Open GL Screesaver, whereas the "Inside My Computer" is one of the "theme" screensavers that requires the installation of Desktop Themes. There is a difference between these screensavers. Perhaps they are being repeatedly reloaded and released when the Maze gets to a specific action. There is a registry setting to prevent this, but the same files are being reused. ![]() Win98 is bad for not realeasing loaded DLL files from memory once the requirement for them no longer exists. I don't suppose that you perhaps replaced the bitmap images in the 3D Maze Screensaver with particularly large image files ? That MIGHT account for the slowdown, but I would have thought that once the images were loaded once it would cache them for future use rather than reloading them each time the Maze got to the same wall again. MSVCRT20.DLL - Very old Microsoft Visual C Runtime library The first difference between these files (apart from the apparently associated "inside~1.pal" file that would appear to be a colour palette for the bitmap images used in the screensaver) are the other DLL files required by it: SSMAZE.SCR - 3D Maze (from WIN98_52.CAB of a Win98se CD) INSIDE~1.SCR - Inside My Computer (from WIN98_69.CAB of a Win98se CD along with inside~1.pal) The screensaver files you are referring to are: I move desktop folders and icons around so much that the only constant hat could leave a shadow is the Task Bar, but it's never been evident on any CRT monitor I have ever used. ![]() WINDOWS 98 MAZE SCREENSAVER FOR WINDOWS 7 PASSWORDScreensavers are now more just aesthetic fun than functional as they were with older monitors that left screen burn, unless of course you have them set with a password for unattended workstation security reasons. because I've got 6 spare monitors sitting in a cupboard (eBay irresistable job lot), and my monitor is set to power down and save the planet while I go off and try and find out about things like the "3D Maze Screensaver" -) WINDOWS 98 MAZE SCREENSAVER FOR WINDOWS 7 INSTALLPersonally speaking, I never install "Themes" or have a screensaver running. I'm subscribing to this at the moment not because I can offer anything constructive right now, but because I am intrigued and want to see what the likes of blue_zee, LeeTutor, coral47, callrs, etc. ![]()
