2022 Archive Screen Saver

[John R. Costa]

I just upgraded to Archive Edition 2022 but the screen saver is now gone.  It is also no longer available in the change screen saver screen in Windows. Is this no longer an offered feature?

Hey John,

Pete just addressed this with a revision to the CB2022 program installer that should fix the problem. Download it from your online account here: https://www.comicbase.com/mycb/Registrations.aspx

Hello - I re-installed the software using the new revision but I still don't see the screen saver option.

What version do you have installed (Help->About ComicBase will give you the information)?

[John R. Costa]

v22.0.0.1348

try uninstalling both your CB 2022 edition and CB2022 resources file then reinstall.

[John R. Costa]

Hello - I uninstalled both and reinstalled the program and still do not see the screen saver option.

[Mark J. Castaneda]

go into C:\Windows\Syswow64 folder - do you see the ComicBase Cover Gallery.scr file? Curious if it got installed

[Mark J. Castaneda]

Another thing recommended by our programming team... there's a chance when you uninstalled CB2021 caused the screen saver got removed. Double-check you don't have older versions of CB still installed. If not, see if you can run the CB2022 installer again and do a 'repair' install to get the screen saver back in. Perform a computer restart afterwards and see if it all works right.

If you still have trouble, give us a call 408-266-6883

I do see a Comic Base Cover Gallery in that folder.

your screenshot is kinda small to make out the file extensions... do you see the ComicBase Cover Gallery.scr file? If not, run the CB2022 program installer and do a 'repair' install. See if the file appears in that folder afterwards because that's the screen saver program.

If the problem doesn't fix with a repair install, email our support team directly at support@comicbase.com.

Do you recall how you initially installed CB2022? Did you uninstall CB2021 first? You're running on Windows 10?

It looks like you have:

ComicBase Cover Gallery         Application         411 KB
ComicBase Cover Gallery.exe        XML Configuration      2 KB

When I checked mine I have:

ComicBase Cover Gallery.exe.config    Config file          2 KB
ComicBase Cover Gallery.scr        Screen Saver        404 KB

You might try deleting (or moving to another location) the two file you have, the try to either:
Install CB and use Modify.
or
Uninstall/Install CB

And see if this gets it installed.

download the revised CB2022 installer (v1359) from your online account - the new build should address the screen saver not being installed. https://www.comicbase.com/mycb/Registrations.aspx

Apologizes, the download link under registrations if you tried to download in the past hr or so was referring to older CB2022 v1357 program installer. Its fixed now, a newer CB2022 installer should download now if you try again. Let us know if the screensaver gets installed for you or not.

That did the trick. Thanks for your help!
