Frequently Asked Questions (Windows)
Multiple-Monitors

There are minor issues when trying to configure the screensaver on
multiple monitors under Windows. When you want to configure the
screensaver please either disable one monitor or temporarily turn
monitor mirroring on.
|
What versions of Windows are supported?
|
The screensaver runs well under Windows XP, Windows Vista (all
versions). We have also run the screensaver successfully on various
versions of Windows 7.
|
Why does the screensaver run slowly on my machine?
|
Paper Pilots uses sophisticated rendering technology. If you have an entry
level graphics card, it may be too demanding for your machine. In the
settings for the screensaver, there is an option to Optimize for integrated
graphics. You may find performance is better with this option turned
on.

What if my machine has display problems with the screensaver?
Many display issues are dependent on your graphics card and the drivers installed. Some issues reported include:

|
Why doesn't the screensaver use the right language?
|
The screensaver has a limited number of localizations. It's possible
that your language isn't currently supported. If the language is
available in the screensaver, then it's possible you may need to
change the system locale. Although the screensaver supports Unicode
internally, Windows doesn't consider the it to be a "unicode"
application. If you are running Vista or later, you may need to change
the system locale.
An alternative is to purchase a
license, which would allow you to save the language settings.
At the current time, the screensaver configuration dialog doesn't have
any.
localizations.

Will there be a Direct X version?

Paper Pilots uses OpenGL for rendering. Though there are no technical reasons,
we currently don't have a Direct X version. If you are having driver issues please feel free to contact us.
