    Why does an error message appear when I use the screen saver [3D Pipes] on Windows Me?
    or
    When I use the screen saver [3D Pipes] and resume the system to its normal mode on Windows Me, the following error message appears sometimes. Why is that so?

    --Error Message--
    "3d pipes has caused an error in OPENGL32.DLL.
    3d pipes will now close. If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer."

    To resolve the symptom, please refer to the following:
    Set [Pipes] to [Single] on [3D Pipes Setup (OpenGL)]. Alternatively, set [Surface Style] to [Solid].
