SYMPTOMS
========
After Dark and all other Microsoft Windows 3.0 screen savers are corrupted by
pull-down menus when they are run in Windows version 3.1 or 3.11.
This problem does not occur with Windows 3.0.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs because Windows 3.0 screen savers are not aware of topmost
windows. Windows 3.1 menus are topmost. A Windows 3.1 compatible screen saver
from the application vender is required to hide the pull-down menu.
In addition, Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 screen savers do not start if a pull-down
menu is currently displayed (that is, when the menu is pulled down).
WORKAROUND
==========
Use only Windows 3.1 compatible screen savers with Windows 3.1 or 3.11.
