I know this is silly, are there some simple DLL's or something to make the screensavers from XP Media Center work on XP Home? If not, is there a free or cheap aquarium program that isn't full of spyware? Thanks.
 
I would guess that you need the latest frame net (dotnetfx) 2.1 or 3.0 beta, or something MS like that (MDAC?). Perhaps Oct 06 DirectX 9.0c, updated in safe mode.

The two best aquariums are.....

and Marine aquarium

I replaced MA with DA, but now in MA 2.6 they have the clock, so I'm thinking about switching back

I have a quad boot, so on my first XP I have DA, and on my second XP I have perpetual disco, with my own imported music (dancing skeletons)
