After Dark version 2.0a and 2.0c does not work correctly under Windows
NT. The After Dark setup program works properly. However, when the
screen saver activates, it may take several minutes before it reponds
to keyboard or mouse activity.
Disabling After Dark
To disable After Dark, you need to modify the Registry. Perform the
following procedure:
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious,
system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to
correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting
from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your

- In the String field, remove AD.EXE and ADINIT.EXE, and then choose
the OK button.
