How do I see which version I have?
You can check this from "Preferences > About".

How do I upgrade without loosing my tasks?
The correct procedure to install the latest upgrade (and keeping your previous tasks) is:

  1. Close StarReminder from the tray icon.

  2. Install the latest upgrade, overriding the previous installation in the same installation folder.

  3. Run StarReminder again.

How do I configure the SMTP settings to receive email reminders?
Type (avoid typing mistakes) your SMTP information in the entry boxes.
if your SMTP server requires authentication (most of the SMTP servers do), you should check the "My server requires authentication" option .
Make sure that the e-mail address you type in the "From address" entry box exists and it is valid.

configure SMTP email settings

You can find this information in your e-mail client program.
For example, if you are using Outlook Express, go to
Tools > Accounts > Your Account name > Properties...
From the dialog box choose the "Servers" tab.
A similar menu is used in most of the e-mail client programs.

Click on the "Send test e-mail" button. A test e-mail will be sent to e-mail address typed in the "From address" entry box.
If you receive the test email, the program is ready to send e-mail reminders automatically.

SMTP Troubleshooting
Problems while testing may occur by one of the following reasons:

  1. Mistyped or invalid SMTP settings

    Make sure that there are no space characters.
    Your e-mail address must be valid and must be from the same email account as your SMTP host.
    e.g. if your SMTP host is smtp.mail.com then your "From address" e-mail should be from the same account:
    yourName@mail.com is VALID
    yourName@anotherSmtp.com is INVALID
     

  2. Message blocked by a Firewall (software or hardware)
    Set your Firewall options to allow StarReminder to have Internet access.
     

  3. Your SMTP Server is not responding at that moment or you are not connected to the Internet
    Send an e-mail to your e-mail address using your e-mail client, in order to verify both cases.

If you still have problems, we can help if you send in an email attachment the StaReminder.pfc file located in program's folder.

Note about the SMTP port number:
The program uses the default SMTP port (25). If you must use another port, edit the "Port=25" entry under the "Preferences" section in the StarReminder.INI file.

Which files do I need to backup?
StarReminder stores its data inside the "StarReminder" folder under the "My Documents" folder in a file called "StarReminder.dat". It also keeps a backup file inside the "Backup" folder under the same location. Any backup plan that takes care to save your "My Documents" folder will also backup StarReminder's files and all your configured tasks and reminders.

How do I send you a screenshot of a technical problem that I see?

A picture is worth 1000 words, they say. If you see something is wrong with the program, press the "Print Screen" button on the keyboard.
You have now placed a screenshot in the clipboard.
You can now go to Microsoft word or to Microsoft Paint (Start->Accessories->Paint), PASTE the image in a new file and send that file to us.

 

When trying to install the program, I get a remark about an "unknown publisher".
download from internet security warning unknown publisherThis remark automatically comes out from windows XP whenever you download programs from the internet and the program is not "digitally signed by an established authority". The procedure to "digitally sign" a program is very expensive and not used by mid/small sized companies. Only big companies can afford to digitally sign their programs. Therefore, the majority of the programs available for download, will also show this message.

You can safely ignore that message for our products
that are downloaded from our official download locations.

Whenever you download programs from the internet you should make sure you download them from their original site. For example, you must avoid downloading programs from other users via a p2p file sharing utility.

The "official" download locations for our software are:
StarMessage screensaver: http://download.starmessage.gr/STARMSG.EXE
The StarMessage Diary: http://download3.starmessage.gr/stardiary.exe
StarReminder: http://download5.starmessage.gr/starreminder_setup.exe

 

Do you have an agent that resells the program in my country?
Currently, our programs are distributed electronically (via downloads) and the payments are done online. These two options allows us to "distribute" our products virtually to the whole planet, while maintaining a very low price from which our customers benefit.
 
Does your software run on MacOS,MacOSX / Macintosh /Apple computers?
As you can see both in our main product pages and in our ordering pages, our software is designed to work on Windows operating system. There are no planned versions for MacOS and Macintosh computers. If you have a windows simulation program installed on your apple computer, you can try the free version of our program to see if its runs on Macintosh.
