    I forget which version was having the problem. I had a screen saver 
for Hardy but this morning I made it a plain blank screen. It will work. 
On 8.10 on my laptop I found the screen saver that shows plugs and IC's 
and switches and all that stuff moving around. Being a Ham Radio 
Operator and building a lot of my stuff, that screen is interesting to 
me. It has old stuff. The new stuff is too small to photograph :-)
