It might be fighting with Astro Gemini, which I haven't removed yet!</p> <p>@ Deserthead47<br /> I have screensavers in my list that were trials, or no longer work, will your method remove them from that list? When I remove the ones in add and remove programs, the names still appear in the list!</p> <p>I had run the program through McAfee and they turned up nothing, think I will check it with Spybot, I don't have WinPatrol's Plus, just the basic I use for controlling my start-up programs...maybe it has attached itself to them too!</p> <p>Thanks, Suki </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4756#post-50679 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:18:43 +0000 Buzz 50679@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Worked ok fer me on xp sp2.

Above I misnamed the file in my above post. It's called Image Saver, not Image Maker. It seems after clicking on the 3 files, 2 would give me the annoying pop-up and one didn't After getting rid of the 2 extra Image Saver files, that seemed to stop the pop-ups I was getting. But I'm still going to keep the RunDefaultSaver.exe removed out of this program. There is no reason why a software like this one should even have a exe file like this making their program the default without the users permission or knowledge or input. Again thanks.........................Jerry (aka) Messenger </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4756#post-50664 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 09:39:37 +0000 Deserthead47 50664@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Try going to :- My Computer/Local disc(C)/windows.Thats where I go to add or remove screensavers from the list. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4756#post-50658 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 04:14:08 +0000 Messenger 50658@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>After reading the comments on February 7th, yesterday’s 2Flayer giveaway, I thought I’d give it a try out. Using a flat screen I really don’t need to use any screensavers but do like to keep a small collection of them for ha ha’s.<br /> After installing, it activated and seems to be registered. It just says full version in the “About” section in the help menu. Everything seemed to work great for the little testing I got to do with it. It was near bed time trying this, so I shut down the computer and went to sleep. Today I turned on the computer and a second after windows was done loading up my desktop I get a pop-up box informing me:</p> <p>“Don’t miss out!</p> <p>Your 30 day trial period is over and now, with great regret, 2Flyer is forced to close. Buy Now you’ll wonder why you waited.</p> <p>Do you want to register 2flyer now?</p> <p>_Your order is risk-free because of our 100% unconditional 30 day money_back guarantee.”</p> <p> With the buttons yes or no, at the bottom of the pop-up. </p> <p> Tilting my head slightly to the side and raising an eyebrow, “Huh? 30 DAYS??? It hasn’t even been 10 hours!!!” “WITH GREAT REGRET 2Flyer IS FORCED TO CLOSE???” My hand wasn’t even near the mouse to open any program!!!<br /> After checking a few autostart programs that I use to control what loads up at windows startup, I didn’t see any changes made or added. The strange part is this 2Flyer pop-up kept appearing every few minutes over and over, and when I do open 2Flyer it works perfect and still reads in the About of the help menu “Full Edition”</p> <p> I only downloaded this program from GAOTD and read the txt file instructing me to just run the setup file. It activated no problem with the grey GAOTD pop-up and web site both opening up informing me that 2Flyer is activated.<br /> After looking in screensaver section of my display properties I noticed that 2Flyer made itself the default screensaver when I always have the choice of “none” selected. So after selecting “NONE” and hitting apply, 2Flyer would reset to default again. Each time it did the above popup would appear along at the same time. It also installed 3 listings titled “Image Maker” in the screensaver list selection of the display property.<br /> I opened the program folder in the directory C:\Program Files\2Flyer\Screensaver Pro, and noticed that there are 3 exe files:<br /> ConfigureSaver.exe…..runs the program<br /> clsdesk.exe…………..not sure why it’s used here but what this exe does on its own is remove any wallpaper you might have on your desktop if you click on it.<br /> RunDefaultSaver.exe…………this is the culprit that keeps resetting this program to be the default screensaver causes the pop-up I kept getting every minute. I removed this file and no longer have the pop-up automatically appearing. The program now only resets itself when I run the 2Flyer software and then the pop-up appears again when going into the display properties. Tho my anti-virus and spy programs didn’t pick anything up, I could see why some people mentioned that they did.<br /> I’m running Windows XP SP2 2005 Media Edition. Not sure if it matters but whatever, I guess this software is out of here for me.<br /> Now if some one could refresh my memory on how to get the 3 installed listings titled “Image Maker” in the screensaver list selection removed I’d feel better. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4756#post-50650 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 00:18:12 +0000 notblocklox 50650@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi, G!, my puter (Vista HP 32 Bit) and I like this program and have no problems with it.

I could not get it to install on my Vista Basic or run. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4756#post-50638 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 20:47:49 +0000 Ashraf 50638@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>G,</p> <p>I did not face any of the problem you did. Sorry to hear of your problems...2Flyer really is a nice program.</p> <p>Avira did not pick up any virus. Nor did I find that 2Flyer automatically set my screensaver - I set it myself.</p> <p>Also, if you go to Help -&gt; About you will see that it says "Full Edition" if you registered it by yesterday. Registration for the program did not involve anything but running Setup.exe.</p> <p>Hope that helps,<br /> Ashraf </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4756#post-50634 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 18:08:33 +0000 gonwk 50634@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi folks,</p> <p>I wonder if the Regular contributors GAOTD Programs Reviewers (i.e., Ashraf, and others) check these forum or not ...</p> <p>But here is a POSSIBLE PROBLEM with "2Flyer ScreenSaver Pro" Giveaway Software on Feburary 7, 2009 ... </p> <p>I installed this program on my Laptop that has Vista Home Premium SP1, 64-Bit with no problem ... I thought this program was a program TO MAKE ScrenSavers and NOT a screensaver program that would INSTALL itself into your Windows screensaver WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION &#38; Knowledge ...</p> <p>Since I installed this program ... my laptop has come to a CRAWLING STOP even with the SIMPLEST Application(s). </p> <p>I did read that some folks AntiVirus program has tagged it as a TROJAN ... (BitDefender for one) ... So, I am hoping that somebody can reply to my Q's ... by the way the PROGRAM has been removed from my Laptop ...</p> <p>Q1: Has anybody bben experiencing a SLOW-DOWN of their computer/laptop?<br /> Because I have been experiencing a Choke-Down of operation for the simplest task as opening a Word or Excel or any other application.</p> <p>Q2: Has anybody seen where the heck is the Registration Info for this program?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>G!:) </p>
