It is best viewed at a screen resolution of 800x600, though you can adjust the settings later. Download the screen saver .exe file to your hard drive, saving it to a directory of your choice. (If you have downloaded a ZIP file, extract the .exe file to the directory of your choice by using an UNZIP program.) In Windows Explorer, double-click on the file (or use the RUN command from your START menu); the screen saver will self-install, placing an icon on your desktop which allows you to quick-start whichever screensaver you currently have selected. In our latest saver versions (2.46 and above) you will also have a saver control in your task bar. 4. GUIDE TO UNINSTALLING To uninstall the screen saver, click your START menu, choose SETTINGS, choose CONTROL PANEL, and find the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS section. Find the name of the screen saver, double-click, and it will be removed automatically. 5. ENTERING YOUR REGISTRATION/UNLOCK CODES a] Right click your mouse on your desktop (your monitor) anywhere that's clear, i.e. not on an icon. b] A drop-down menu will appear. Choose "Properties" (usually at the bottom of the menu). c] The DISPLAY PROPERTIES box will appear. d] Choose the "Screen Saver" tab from the row of tabs at top. e] You will see an image of a monitor. Below this is a box in which you can choose which saver to display. Choose the saver you want to unlock. f] Click the "Settings" button right beside the choice box. g] The Settings tabs for the saver will appear. The first tab that appears is the TRIAL tab, containing two boxes to be filled in. h] CUT AND PASTE from your registration email to ensure that no errors occur. Your registration email contains a code system that looks like this (this is a sample only; yours will contain your own NAME and KEY): NAME = Joe Soap KEY = 0987AB34DE0 i] In the first box, enter the NAME exactly as given in your registration email. j] In the second box, enter the KEY CODE exactly as given in your registration email. Note that any 0 in the code is the NUMBER ZERO, and not the letter "O". k] Click on OK. The Settings box will disappear. l] Click on SETTINGS again to re-enter the saver's settings. m] Check that the TRIAL tab has disappeared. If it is still there, the saver has not accepted your registration codes. Please try again, ensuring that you are entering them exactly as in your registration email. n] If the tab still does not go away, please check that you have the correct saver in the choice box; codes will ONLY work with the correct saver. o] If you are still having trouble after checking all of the above, please email us for help: screencraft@come2mum.com 6. CUSTOMISE YOUR SAVER! - Turn the music off (or back on again) - Choose to fit the images to your screen size or have the original size displayed - Change the time delay - in other words, adjust the time that each picture displays on your screen - Up to 23 transition effects to choose from - Display the captions (NOTE: USUALLY these are just the names of the image files but occasionally they may be references for the pictures), and adjust the font and position on the page of the captions TO CUSTOMISE YOUR SAVER: NOTE: SOME OPTIONS ONLY SHOW IN REGISTERED SAVERS - if you still have a TRIAL tab showing, you will NOT have some of the options available to you! a] Right click your mouse on your desktop (your monitor) anywhere that's clear, i.e. not on an icon. b] A drop-down menu will appear. Choose "Properties" (usually at the bottom of the menu). c] The DISPLAY PROPERTIES box will appear. d] Choose the "Screen Saver" tab from the row of tabs at top. e] You will see an image of a monitor. Below this is a box in which you can choose which saver to display. Choose the saver you want to customise. f] Click the "Settings" button right beside the choice box. g] The Settings tabs for the saver will appear. Move through the tabs in the settings to make whatever changes you wish. (Sound control is in "Multimedia"; if you do not have a Multimedia tab, there is no sound with the saver.) 7. TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS WITH YOUR SAVER In very rare instances, certain computer configurations are incompatible with our saver software. Usually this can be fixed with adjustments. NOTE: SOME NT SYSTEMS STILL DON'T LIKE US! Please evaluate on the correct computer before buying; refunds CANNOT be made! a] PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO INSTALL If you have problems when you first try to install or to execute our savers, it is quite probable that something went wrong in cyberspace during downloading. Usually, downloading again gets you the file undamaged and the installation should go smoothly. b] SCREEN SAVER STALLING OR CRASHING OR FLASHING: If you are running a version lower than v2.0, please go to our web site and download the latest version. Some computer sound card configurations do not install an audio codec that is required by Stardust; versions from v2.0 upwards of our savers automatically install this codec for you and will solve the problem. c] SCREEN SAVER WILL NOT WORK IN SPITE OF DOING [a] AND [b]: Our very latest savers (versions 2.46 and above) will not work on the earliest version of Windows 95 (sometimes called Windows 95 "A") *UNLESS* Microsoft's OLEAUT32 update (oadist.exe) is installed OR you have Internet Explorer 3.x or later installed. This is a very easy fix; go to the PLEASE READ page at our web site and download the oadist.exe file, double-click to install, and the problem (and probably several others you may have been having! <ggg>) will be solved. d] SCREEN SAVER TRIAL TAB WILL NOT DISAPPEAR: When you have entered a correct Unlock Code, the trial tab should disappear; check this by going back into the settings as soon as you have entered your registration code to see whether the TRIAL tab is gone. If it isn't: i. try entering the code again. Please ensure that any "0" in the code is a NUMBER, not the letter "O". ii. Check the name of the screen saver; is it the same as the name that appears on your Registration Email? You may have bought the wrong saver, in which case the code we have issued will not work. iii. If you have the CARS OF YESTERYEAR screen saver, please DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION from our web site as there is a change in the coding system for this particular saver. iv. If NONE of the above solve the problem, please CONTACT US immediately; it is possible that something is amiss in the code we sent you. e] THE SAVER IS SHOWING "FLATTENED" COLOURS ... If the image quality of the saver is poor or looks as though the colours are flattened or distorted, your monitor is probably not set to read "high colour" (it's probably set at 256 colours, in which case your images will appear "posterised"). You can adjust this in two ways: i. You can make an adjustment in the screen saver's settings: go into your saver's settings (see instructions above) and choose the "Transitions" tab (THIS ONLY SHOWS IN REGISTERED SAVERS - if you still have a TRIAL tab showing, you will NOT have some of the options available to you!). Now click on the "ADVANCED" button, check the box for "Always dither to standard pallet", and click "OK". The posterisation will be removed, but the image quality will not be quite as good. ii. ONLY DO THIS IS YOU KNOW A BIT ABOUT YOUR COMPUTER'S CONFIGURATION OR HAVE SOMEONE NEARBY TO HELP IN CASE YOU DO IT WRONG! <gggg> If your monitor has the capability of changing its Display Settings, you can adjust the whole way you see images! (This will slow down your system very slightly) Go to the "Display Properties" box and choose the "Settings" tab (NOT the one in the "Screen Saver" tab, but the one in the main "Display Properties" box!). Change your "Colour Pallet" to HIGH COLOUR or TRUE COLOUR; the options offered to you here will depend on the monitor that is set up in the "Advanced" section. 8. DISCLAIMER You are installing this product entirely at your own risk and no guarantees are made to you by anyone concerned in the making or distribution of the product, nor can any responsibility be taken by anyone other than yourself for any damage purported to result from the installation of this product. The product has been tested and if it does not work on your particular computer no guarantees are made to you concerning refunds; due to the low pricing of the savers and the high administration costs, it is NOT our policy to refund monies (other than in exceptional circumstances) and we are not obliged to do so unless it can be shown that the software itself is faulty. 9.
