Windows 95 and After Dark 2.0 Issues

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you run Berkeley Systems After Dark with Windows 95, the following problems occur:

• When you install the After Dark screen saver, an After Dark button is created on the taskbar; however, clicking this button with the left mouse button does not open the After Dark control panel.
• A blank button appears on the taskbar when the After Dark screen saver is active.
• A button labeled "Password" appears on the taskbar when the Password dialog box appears.

CAUSE

According to Berkeley Systems Technical Support, After Dark version 2.0 for Windows and its add-on components based on the After Dark 2.0 engine are not fully compatible with Windows 95.

RESOLUTION

• If you click the After Dark button using the right (secondary mouse button, the Control menu appears. The After Dark control panel is one of the selections. You can also click the After Dark icon on the desktop, rather than the button on the taskbar, to open the After Dark control panel.
• The blank button on the taskbar serves no function, but it cannot be disabled.
• The button labeled "Password" on the taskbar serves no function; however, the only way to prevent it from appearing is to disable After Dark's password support.
