(moderation:
I have only been working on this project for a short time.........the only problem I have encountered is one that just happened. My screensaver is flashing on and off.......which got annoying real fast as it didn't stop as I did email or anything else. I finally just suspended work on the unit and the behavior stopped. When I resumed work on the unit, the behavior returned......I never saw this on any other unit.
My system is a AMD Athlon 64FX with 2 G of RAM - Running XP Pro with all patches. My Video card is an ATI 9600.... the Albert software is 4.37. Has any one encoutered this? I will resume work on the unit when I go back to watching my football games so I don't have to see it....but it is annoying!

Easy fix is to turn off the screensaver... Seriously, when you want to watch the graphics, use the "Show graphics" button. Using the screensaver steals time from the work being done, and seems to be rather, um, unstable. Much better to just have the screen go blank, or run some boring, non-3D, non-CPU-heavy screensaver.
That is easy enough to fix

That is easy enough to fix since I never sit here and look at them anyway. Thanks
