A: Perhaps you make a mistake, .aps file is a config file that records the setting of your screen saver, it is not the final screen saver file. The following is how to make a screen saver file: ***************************************************** Menu -> File -> Create Screen Saver; or click the "Create Screen Saver" button which on the left side of the main window. When you click the "Create screen saver" button, then click "Create" button, the program will open a dialog window to ask you the save location of the screen saver(default is "Output folder"). After making .exe file, the program will popup a little window to tell you the screen saver information, such as title, file size and save location. Go to that target path then you can find the .exe file. This is the final screen saver file. ****************************************************** 2 Q: What function limit if using a tryout version? A: When creating the final screen saver, the program will only package up to 7 images during the tryout version. There is no function limit after purchasing a full license version. 3 Q: How can I install the screen saver to other PC or to the screen saver control panel? A: Run the final self-install screen saver, click the button "Install", the program will automatically install it as Windows default screen saver. 4 Q: I don't like to see the button tool tips, can they be hidden? A: Deselect the item "Show Tool tips" on the "Guide" menu will be OK. 5 Q: When I start the program, it keeps giving me some error prompt, why? A: Please delete the file "apssm.ini" in the program working folder and try to start the program again. 6 Q: It seems that some effect is very slow, why? A: Because some effects need much operation, it depends on your computer speed. For example, "Mask" and transparent effect are slow. Besides, the transition effects on Vista or Windows 7 RC are slower than they on Windows XP. 7 Q: Can I distribute and share the final screen saver on the web freely? A: Yes, 100% free, no hidden costs. 8 Q: I have problem to export Avi file, any idea? A: As default, the program will generate 800*600, 30 FPS, 90% quality video and 22050Hz, 16bit wav or mp3 audio. If there is no suitable codec in your system or the setting of the codec is incorrect, the program will possibly encounter errors. In addition we have stoped the development of this feature. 9 Q: Dynamic lyric does not correspond to the music, why? A: Because this program only can support Lrc format lyric file, but Lrc format just afford the begin time for each lyric line, it is impossible to make each word correspond to the music without beat information. 10 Q: OS version requirements of APSSM and the final screen saver? A: The software and the making screen saver both can support Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Windows 7 RC.
