Buttons

Blank Now - Pressing this button will cause the screensaver to be started.  Pressing a key or moving the mouse will bring you back to the control window.

Password - This will bring up the Password Control dialog box.  Enter or change the password and check the enble password box to enable password protection.  If enabled, when the screen is blanked moving the mouse or pressing any key will bring up the Password Entry dialog box.  The proper password must be entered now in order to return to the Windows screen.  The only other way to return to the system would be to reboot.  The password is stored in the win.ini file and readable in the Password Control dialog so it is excessable until the Windows screen is blanked.

Wallpaper - The Display Options and Display Color settings will be used to determine an image to reference.  This image will then be written in .BMP format to a file called issup.bmp in the windows directory.  Your Windows setting for desktop wallpaper will be adjusted so that this image is now your wallpaper.  Experiment with the 16 color and 256 color settings to find the best result on your hardware.

Close - Pressing this will close down the screensaver program.  All current setting will be saved to the win.ini file.
