To Andre, To All:
That makes perfect sense--except that I have a non-WDDM hardware based
graphics driver (dumb, pre-knowledgable, decision) that runs Ribbon and
Aurora--but not Energy. Or at least not in full screen--the "monitor" on the
Screensaver menu will display Energy, but it won't display full screen; when
I try to run it, I get a "this screensaver can't run because it requires
functionality not available on your hardware-based graphics card." (Intel
910GML, Gateway M280e, 1.8GHz; Vista RC1; Build 5600).
As I mentioned, though, Ribbon and Aurora, work fine. Thoughts on the
discrepancy?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or pontifications. All the best.
