CD distribution is available for additional charge. Please contact us before ordering if you want such option.
When you download USSM you can always make backup on CD, floppy or other medium.
Generated screen savers can be distributed freely to anyone with no
restrictions of any kind. One will be able to see and install generated
screen savers without registration or installation of USSM.
Registered users are licensed to do whatever they want with generated screen
savers. Generated screen savers can be distributed for free, sold to people
and businesses, etc.
You will receive your unique Registration code as soon as we authorise your order.
Then you will simply enter your name and the
registration code in the program registration form and
Ultra Screen Saver Maker will be all yours.
If you can find your name in Help/About, then you have successfully registered Ultra Screen Saver Maker. If you still experience unregistered notice running across the screen, please rebuild the screen saver you are using - simply open the project and
make screen saver again.
It is important to understand that pre-release beta software may not be fully debugged. We, like other software vendors, post pre-release versions of our software to give existing customers a chance to try the new features, comment on them, and report any problems. If you are not familiar with USSM, then we recommend that you not download the pre-release version, and instead download the release version of USSM. On the other hand, if you are interested in trying new features and willing to report any problems, you are encouraged to give pre-release version a try. We don't think that you will have any problems, but if you do, we would appreciate it if you would report them to us by using the Problem Report Form.
You can download the pre-release beta test version of Ultra Screen Saver Maker from the Beta Test Section.
If you downloaded Ultra Screen Saver Maker, there should be ussm.exe file
on you hard disk. If you erased it by mistake, download it again from our website.
You can't extract files from generated screen saver by yourself.
Registered users can send us screen saver (.exe or .scr file) and we'll extract images and send them back to you.
You probably do not have appropriate MP3 codecs installed on your system. You should install Windows Media Player or Winamp software, since they are automatically installing MP3 codecs so you can use them in other programs, including Ultra Screen Saver Maker.
Use "Insert date or time" box in the Text window. If you use "Synchronize with objects" option you can assign different date and time formats to different images.
SSP file is Ultra Screen Saver Maker project file that remembers file names and settings used for creating
screen saver. It is not screen saver itself. You can open and edit such projects (files with SSP extension) in
Ultra Screen Saver Maker only.
A created screensaver installation file is a normal file. You can copy/delete/rename it like any other file on your hard drive.
You can send a screensaver via email as an attachment directly from
USSM (File/Send via e-mail), use Outlook Express or any other email
program,
You can upload it to a website using BulletProof FTP, CuteFTP or other FTP program, then tell
people the download URL,
You can copy the screensaver to a CD-ROM. To copy a screensaver to a
CD-ROM, like any other file, you will need a CD recorder and a CD burner
software (Nero Burning ROM, Easy CD Creator or similar).
Please refer to your CD recorder documentation for details about this issue.
After you created a .exe screensaver installation, you cannot reload and edit it. If you think you will want to edit your screensaver in the future (and we are pretty sure you will), you should save a project file before you build the screensaver. A screensaver project is a .ssp file which contains all the data necessary to create your screensaver again.
In order to have quiet installation as Windows default screen saver (without dialog box), use /I switch when starting self-installing screen saver. E.g. if you have created a file ss.exe, please use "ss.exe /i" to install it as Windows default screen saver promptly.
Besides Flash file itself, the generated screen saver contains several libraries including official Macromedia Flash player installation, to ensure your screensaver will be properly displayed on every PC.
A Ultra Screen Saver Maker wish-list exists. Please send us any suggestions, we will add them in our wish-list and maybe we will implement it in the next release.
