For each screensaver, minor updates to the same version are free for registered users (eg v2.1 to v2.2). There may be an upgrade fee when there is a major upgrade (eg v2.2 to v3.0).

Minor updates are made available from time to time on this web site. You can compare the version in the table above to that shown on your screensavers' Settings screens.

Licensed users may gain access to updates by sending an email to updates@seraline.com. The subject must be just the name of the product, namely Dynamania, 3aline, Seractal, Adrift, Seraline, Serandom, Photo Mishmash or Redecorator. The email message must be blank - just put the product name in the subject. Information on how to update will be sent back as soon as possible.

The trial versions may not be used to update licensed versions, and registration codes are not used.

You should make a backup copy of your full version at the time of purchase, and also when receiving any updates.

Screensavers were originally used to prevent phosphor burn-in on your screen when the image did not change for a long time. This is not such a problem with modern screens, and screensavers are now mainly used for entertainment when you are not otherwise using your computer, and for password protection.

Many screensavers use animated cartoons, or a limited range of still images, but the problem with these is that within a short time you have basically seen all they can do. Seraline Screensavers avoid this kind of repetition by taking a different approach.

Using mathematics, fractals, 3D and random drawing effects, the various Seraline screensavers create an endless variety of images. It's like having your own works of computer art, continually evolving before your eyes.

The message can be something like "an error occured while copying c:\Windows\System\Serandom2.scr".

This can happen if you are installing a new version of Serandom (including a licensed version) while you still have a previous version running in your system tray.

You need to right-click on the running copy of Serandom in the system tray, and select Exit Serandom. You will then be able to install the new version of Serandom, and then use its Settings screen to specify that it should run in the system tray.

Right-click on your desktop background and click Personalize, and then choose a different screensaver. Then you can click Start, then Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, and the screensaver should be in the list of programs you can uninstall.

If you still find the screensaver in your list of screensavers, use Windows Explorer to go to your Windows\System32 folder. Locate the screensaver and delete it.

If you are trying to uninstall Serandom, first ensure that it is not running. Right-click on its icon in the system tray, and select Exit Serandom.

You may have Energy Saving turned on on your computer, which will turn the screen black, and will happen no matter what screensaver you are running. Check at the bottom of the Screen Saver tab on your Display Properties.

If it just happens with a Seraline screensaver, check at the bottom of the screensaver's own first settings screen that you have not selected it to stop after a specified period.

If you have turned on "On resume, display Welcome screen" on your screensaver settings, turn it off. This may also help if you use color animation with Seractal or Seraline Screensavers.
