Nambit:

Here are the specs on my laptop:

Lappy:        Dell Inspiron purchased August 2007
Processor:  Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3500+  1.80 GHz
Memory:   2GB
OS:               Vista Home Premium
Graphics:  ATI Radeon Xpress 1150
Status:        Game runs too slowly to even get past the Introduction. (Demo Version)

I should point out that I bought this computer to work on a website project with a friend of mine. I didn't buy it with gameplaying in mind. I am not surprised that this computer has some limitations.

 I am not much of a gamer. It is just something I enjoy once in a while.
(Compared to my freinds who play WOW online, my gameplaying is close to zero.)

Maybe the guys at Bit Blot can do a little testing and a little tweaking to allow someone with a computer like mine to play Aquaria. In the mean time, I will look for something else. (I recently bought Railroad Tycoon 3 and downloaded the huge free expansion. I am certain that this will keep me occupied for quite some time.)

I do appreciate that there is a demo that I can try for free. It sure beats wasting money on something that won't work on your computer.

I am running Vista Home Premium on a Dell laptop that I purchased in August 07.

I am having even worse performance  that what was described in the initial post, no matter what Config setting sI choose.

For example: The little fish in the intro screen move every 2 seconds.

When I move the cursor (the bubble) with the mouse during the intro, it jumps to various places on the screen every 2 seconds.

Is there anything I can do? This looks like a really cool program.
