LeeSmithG Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 This is the error I get: I started getting this error from Koi Fish screensaver. Also when bubbles are run as a screensaver I don't see the desktop I get a black background. Any ideas on how to fix both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeSmithG Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 I purchased the other four (4) Koi screensavers and they work with no errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeSmithG Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 I solved the problem. I changed the directory install folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\Koi Fish 3D Screensaver to C:\Program Files (x86)\Koi Fish 3D Screensavers and it works correctly now.
