A). What will be installed by setup.exe?

 The SETUP.EXE will copy five files into your windows directory:

D). TroubleShooting:
    -  Q: I have a multimedia system, with .WAV capability, and
          in fact, 
          I hear .WAV files with most every application.  
          Why can I NOT hear sounds with your screen saver?  
          (The Sounds option is grayed out, and I cannot check
           it.)
       A: The Saver disables Sound option if it does not detect a
          sound device that it knows. You can enforce it accepts
          you sound system by following steps:
              1). disable (turn off) the saver;
              2). open (double click at icon of) file            

                  c:\windows\az_sn.ini
                  (assuming c:\windows is your Windows directory)
                   in your windows File Manager;
              3). change 
                      EnforceSoundOn= 0
                  into
                      EnforceSoundOn= 1
              4). save and close the file;       
              5.) bring up the setup screen of the saver;
              6). check (enable) field "Sound On";
              7). click at OK to exit the setup screen of the
                  saver;
      
    Q:  I have downloaded your screen saver recently 
        and I was having a problem with getting it to work
properly.  
        After initializing I get a message "... caused a general 
        protection fault in module VGA.DRV at 0001:0ca2". 
  
    A:  Changed your screen driver in winsetup to SVGA.
