Uninstalled screensaver, but still in list and causing error messages

I uninstalled a screensaver because it wasn't working well (Living Marine Aquarium 2 full). However, I get a Runtime error message saying: " this application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." When I uninstalled it, there was a message that said I had to delete somethings manually, but I don't know what.

• Sorry to learn the screensaver didn't work for you!

  I suspect you may have had the Screen Saver Settings panel open, with the Living Marine Aquarium 2 screensaver selected, while you tried to uninstall it. I did that just now and got the same messages that you describe here. This is because the uninstaller cannot remove any files that are currently active on your computer.

  The only file likely to have been left behind, and also the one that causes the screensaver to still show up in the list, is the "Living Marine Aquarium 2 Full.scr" file in your Windows folder. You can delete that file manually by opening up the File Explorer, then go to your Local Disk C: under "This PC". Double-click the Windows folder to open it, then scroll down to find the "Living Marine Aquarium 2 Full" screensaver file, right-click it and choose "Delete".

  Make sure you don't have the Screen Saver Settings panel open while you delete the file or it may not work. After you've deleted the screensaver file this way, open up the Screen Saver Settings panel and the screensaver should not be listed.

  Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
