Frequently Asked Questions for Themes and Screensavers

Although we state clearly on our home page that due to the freeware nature of these products we do not offer any support, we occasionally get emails requesting assistance. We want you to enjoy our offerings so we have compiled a list of the common questions we get asked with the answers.

Instructions for installing most of our themes.

All of our themes will include wallpaper and Sounds. Most are designed for 800x600 resolution PC screens unless stated.
You must be running Windows 95 and Plus! or Windows 98 and Plus! or any other theme Installer. When using larger screen resolutions the Wallpaper can be stretched to fit by going to start - Settings - Control Panel - Display - Background and clicking on stretch in the choices box on the right hand bottom of the panel. Full instruction will be given in the faq.txt file tha comes with the ZIP file which outlines any special directory creation.
The following instructions are for our Gothic number 1 theme.
For this Theme create a directory in your Program files - Plus! - Themes directory called Gothic1 (type as shown). When you have downloaded the file from our site unzip the collection into this directory. 
Run Microsoft Plus! Start - Settings - Control Panel - Desktop Themes - Click on the dropdown menu that contains your existing themes until you come to others... Click on this and you will get a list of directories click on Gothic1 and choose the Gothic1 theme file, click on this to make it your choice and then on OK to install it.
If you decide you want to change some of the elements (icons, Cursors etc) you can do this via Start - Settings - Control Panel - Display - Effects, here you can browse for alternative icons or return to the system defaults. To delete the Theme completly delete the Gothic1 directory. 

Screen Saver Frequently Asked Questions & Instructions.

Although we state clearly on our home page that due to the freeware nature of these products we do not offer any support, we occasionally get emails requesting assistance. We want you to enjoy our offerings so we have compiled a list of the common questions we get asked with the answers.

Instructions:

1. Click on the screen saver you require and when your browser prompts you for instructions "save it to disk".

2. When the file has downloaded open it in Winzip and extract the files into the Windows directory.

3. Open the settings/control panel option from the Windows 95/98 tool bar and select display.

4. Select the screen saver option and choose the name of the saver that you downloaded.

5. Click on OK

 

Q "I cannot download the screen saver from http://www.darkgarden.co.uk an error message says server not available or timed out".

A Our servers have experienced minimum downtime but that does not mean that it is always easy to connect to. Many things can go wrong with the internet, excessive traffic can cause time outs and disruption to the actual world network can mean servers are inaccessible for periods of time. If this happens try connecting at another time.

Q " I downloaded a screen saver which has 2 files with the following extensions .apj and .scr and I can't get it to run correctly or I cannot see it in the Settings/Screen saver drop down box".

A Make sure that you unzip both files to the Windows directory the screen saver requires that both files are placed there. It needs both files to run.

Q "I cannot see all of the screen saver it is to big for my screen".

A Our screen savers are created for 800x600 configurations and will not look correct on 640x480 screens. If you have a larger resolution screen like 1024x768 or 1280x1024 they will still run but may be smaller and centered with a black border (depending on the title), the animation's will also spill onto this border but they still run normally. 

Q "The screen saver colours are all wrong".

A Our screen savers are designed to be run in true colour mode 24bit.

Q "The animation's run slowly and are a bit jerky or the animation's are to quick" 

A Not so easy this one. We design and test our screen savers on several PC's and operating systems before releasing them.

a. 486 25Mhz running Win 3.11 and Win 95 with 8Mb of RAM and cheap graphics card.

b. Pentium 100Mhz running Win 95 and Win 98 32 Mb RAM and stealth graphics card. 

c. Pentium 2 Running Win 95 and Win 98 128Mb of RAM and Stealth graphics card. 

It is very difficult to get a saver to run on all of these platforms the same so we try to aim for the middle of the road PC (b).

Q "I get funny error messages when the screen saver runs" 

A Make sure that your Windows configuration is set up correctly. You should not experience any system problems with these products if you follow the setup instructions.

Q "I have followed this FAQ and I still cannot get the saver to run" 

A Our screen savers run on Windows machines only not on Mac, OS2 or Unix. We have had some very odd emails in the past that we have not been able to fully answer but they do appear to be problems associated with OS setups.
Please make sure that if you are using any of the Windows products that you have run the appropriate service pack updates and that you have valid upto date virus checking software installed. Our savers are checked for virus's but we have heard of instances of our savers being passed around on floppy disks which have had virus's on them......... ....SO WATCH OUT FOR THIS. 

If you are getting despondent either try the saver out on another PC or download a different one and try that. 

Q "When do you have new screen savers on-line?" 

A About every 3 months we have a couple of new ones available, It's the ideas not the technology that's the problem and our day jobs :( You can join the mailing list here to automatically get updated when new ones come on-line. 

We hope that answers any questions that you have

Hope to See you back at Darkgarden 5 soon and don't forget let us have your feed back
