Yes. There are various editions composed from high-quality pictures taken by professional photographers prepared for you. Visit our website or see How to order?
There can be three reasons:
It is not possible to export and mail the original (from editions) puzzles. You can export and mail your own puzzles.
Yes, you can. We use the EMF format for templates. To create templates use a vector editor, which can save or export images to the EMF format (e.g. free OpenOffice.org Draw). Only outlines will be used in the game, so there is no need to use fillings, gradients, bitmaps or colors. It is necessary to convert text to curves.
If you arrange pieces at the edge of the desktop (Tools/Arrange/At Edge) the pieces will be arranged in a spiral along the whole edge of the desktop. The edge pieces are sorted out from the beginning of the spiral (from left-top to right-top...).
The game uses OpenGL for displaying. Nowadays all video cards and their drivers support OpenGL. If you have problems anyway, we advise you to download and install the latest driver for your card from the producer's website.

Movies and background music are played by an operating system. Your friend probably used a format which is not supported in your operating system. You should download and install the proper codec. We recommend to download and install a codec pack. See also Minimum system requirements (DirectX).

Every puzzle has a few additional files. These files allow a faster start or quicker move to the Play Room. One of the files also carries information about the state you left the Play Room in. The size of an album displayed in Album Properties denotes the sum of sizes of all these files. The displayed size correspond precisely to the room taken by an album from your hard disk. The size of a puzzle displayed in Info panel denotes the size without the additional files.
If you delete a puzzle from the Store Room, the program will place it into the trash of the operating system. In case you have not emptied the trash, there is a chance to succeed.
The number of pieces displayed in the Store Room corresponds to the number of pieces of a puzzle made in the Create Room. If you send a puzzle to someone whose screen is smaller then some pieces are too small and can be fused with adjacent pieces. That's why the number of pieces in the Play Room can be smaller.
