Need Help With MaLa!

[fjl]

I need some help with MaLa.

First off, I can't get the screensaver to work unless I disable the mouse. Why is that?

Another problem that perplexes me is that the screensaver usually goes on and starts up the attract mode on my LEDwiz buttons. And when I quit the game, I no longer have control of MaLa unless I use my mouse buttons. It's like MaLa automatically becomes an unactive window(goes to the background) and to be able to use it again, I have to use my mouse buttons, selecting it, to make it the current active window again. Why is this happening?

Dunno about the first bit    but the 2nd part is an issue with the latest beta's that is now fixed in the next release

So go back to RC9 or wait until next release I guess

Wait you're confusing me. What's fixed?

1. The part about not being able to start the screensaver unless the mouse is disabled?

2. That the screensaver and attract mode start while I'm currently playing a game?

3. or that the MaLa program becomes an inactive window preventing me from using my control panel?

And what do you mean by go back to RC9? I am using RC9. MaLa v1.0 RC9 to be exact. It's the latest version unless I'm mistaken so how I can go back to it? Dude, you left me with more questions than answers...
 

I forgot to mention this problem, when I changed my layout, the background picture of the moon and space no longer come out. It shows up on the layout program but not while running MaLa. I never changed it or removed it. I don't even know how. What can I do to fix this?

OK  I don't have an answer for part 1 & 2.  never heard of that
Part 3 is fixed in next release. I meant go back to the previous RC9 Pre -beta)...
PM me your e-mail and I will send you the older version if that helps

And for you last question you probably changed that settings in the Gui-layout section by mistake 'use layout name for directory names'

I am going to try disabling the mouse in mala and see if that works, I have not been able to get the screensaver to work in the last couple of releases.  Worth a shot.

Did that fix your screensaver problem as well?
