Yeah we found this out a little late!  It seems HyperCard draws directly to
the screen if the Mac is in 1-bit mode.  The problem does not happen with
Pyro! because they bring up a window when they do their animation and 
HyperCard first checks to see if a window is up.  We don't use a window
(for a variety of technical reasons) and HyperCard assumes it is the only
thing on the screen.  It will be fixed but I don't know when.

I have never heard of this one.  You might give DataPak a call and see if
they know about any problems with their drivers and screen savers.  You
also might get After Dark 1.1 (if you don't already have it) and try it
out.  Let us know if we can be any help.
