Once you are completely satisfied with the look and characteristics of your screen saver, you can finally create it using Ultra Screen Saver Maker!
Prior to building final screen saver we strongly recommend saving your project file (.ssp) using File menu/Save, so you can easily rebuild it later if small changes are necessary.
To create a screen saver use Make button or File menu/Make screen saver option.
When you click on this option, program will ask for a screen saver name and folder where it will be stored. In addition, you can select format of your screen saver (.exe, .zip or .scr).
To distribute screen saver on CD, DVD, USB or any disk we recommend creating screen saver as Self-installing Screen Saver (.exe). Such file has built-in installation procedure, including several options to choose from when user starts it, such as option to choose between testing and installing screen saver, or if the screen saver will be set as a default screen saver or launched immediately after installing.
In order to have silent installation (without user interaction) as Windows default screen saver, use /q switch when starting self-installing screen saver. E.g. if you have created a file test.exe, use "test.exe /q". To display all available command-line options for generated screen saver, use /help switch, e.g. "test.exe /help".
To distribute screen saver on Internet, especially via email, we recommend creating screen saver as Archive containing Screen Saver (.zip), because sending executable files (.exe) as attachment is mostly forbidden nowadays. This option will actually bundle Self-installing Screen Saver into .zip archive. User would open such archive and double-click on .exe file to install it.
If your screen saver is generated as a regular Screen Saver (.scr) (not recommended), you have to explain people you are distributing it how to manually put it in appropriate System folder - C:\Windows\System (Windows XP), C:\Windows\System32 (Windows 7 32-bit) or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (Windows 7 64-bit), so it can appear in System screen saver list.
