Can't Change Backgrounds
The screensaver gives options to change backgrounds of the fish tank. None of these work.
I am running Windows 11 64 Bit.

Hello Kerri,
Yes, unfortunately these "zz" screensavers tend to store their settings in a separate text file, but they don't have permission to do so when they're stored in the Windows folder. As a result, any changes you make will not be saved.
One alternative is to move the zzAquarium2 screensaver file to a different folder, ideally one under your user account, such as the Documents folder in C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents (you could create a subfolder for screensavers).
However, since Windows doesn't automatically check that folder for any screensavers, you will need to right-click the screensaver file and choose "Install".
That will install the screensaver into the Screen Saver Settings panel for so long as it is selected as the current screensaver. Once you change to a different screensaver, "zzAquarium2" will disappear from the list and you'll have to repeat right-clicking the screensaver file and choosing "Install" to activate it.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
