The StarMessage Screensaver

How to configure the screensaver

 
Frequently Asked Questions.

I do not see the moon phase
Please go to the settings of the screensaver and make sure that the option "Moon Phase" is ticked.
Other reason why you might not see the moon, is that maybe there is no moon on those days (new moon days). Temporally increase the brightness of your monitor to see if a dark blue moon appears in the screen. After a few days the moon will start appearing.

How do I change the default message that is written in the stars?
Go to the settings of the screensaver and change the message.  Press the "More Options" button and go to the "Star Messages" tab and change any other messages that are preconfigured.

The percentage of moon phases are not showing any more.
The scrolling bottom line will show you the percentage of the moon that is illuminated. If this percentage has stopped showing up, go to the settings of the screensaver and make sure that there is some text typed in the bottom line (you can even type a "space" character). If the bottomline is empty from text, the percentage is not shown.

I get an "error in IniFile Read: too long string"
Please go to the settings of the screensaver and check the message and bottomline texts that you have typed. One or more of them is too long. reduce the length and the problem will stop. If you have typed multiple messages (from the "More Options" button and the "Star Messages" tab), then you must check for their length as well.
 

How to uninstall the StarMessage screensaver
1) Go to the "About" tab of the program and select "Uninstall".
Or, go to the Control Panel, Add/Remove programs and select StarMessage Screen Saver from the list of the installed programs and press the Add/Remove button to start the removal.

2) Choose the "Custom" uninstall option and select all the files. In some cases the uninstall information might get lost (especially if you don't select the "custom" option mentioned above. You might get the error "cannot open install.log" file.
For those cases, you can manually delete the starmessage files to uninstall the screensaver.
Find and delete all the "starmsg.*" files from your hard disk.
Use the search and specify the option to "search for ALL files", if such an option exists in the specific version of your windows.
The files that should be found and can be safely deleted are:

starmsg.scr
starmsg.hlp
starmsg.exe
starmsg.ini

You do NOT need to delete any other files. There is not a specific folder for the screensaver and you should NOT delete any folder.

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.
