The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS
========

The screen savers provided with Microsoft Windows will not activate if Icon
Hearit is loaded and the Animate Cursor On Startup option is chosen.

CAUSE
=====

The Animate Cursor On Startup option in Moon Valley Software's Icon Hearit
software moves the cursor, acting similar to a screen saver, and does not allow
Windows screen savers to activate. Turning off this option allows the Windows
screen savers to work.

WORKAROUND
==========

To disable this option in Icon Hearit, do the following:

1. Double click the Icon Hearit icon.

2. From the Options menu, disable the Animate Cursor On Startup option.
