Download questions
• I downloaded the Free version of Smidgit and it won’t load on my system?

Try downloading Smidgit again. Smidgit will only work on Windows 2003 and later systems so if your computer is older it sadly may not be compatible.

General Smidgie Question
• Why am I mostly seeing Steve and Stacey appear with other Smidgies just now and then?

This is because you have the FREE version of Smidgit. The PAID/LICENCED version will show all our various animated smidgie characters and human smidgies too.

General Smidgie Question
• Can I see previous and/or upcoming movements?

Clicking the ‘Previous’ and ‘Next’ buttons will allow you to view the next 3 or previous 3 movements only. We don’t want to take away the excitement of new Smidgie appearances.

General Smidgie Question

Pressing the repeat button will allow you to repeat the current movement as many times as you like.

Smidgit / Software questions
• I have a business but I am worried if I download Smidgit it might interfere with other programs I am running.

Smidgit was designed to sit in your system tray and only pop up at the times set by you (the free version pops up every 45 min). The software was specifically built to not interfere with any other programs running on a computer.

Smidgit / Software questions
• How do I make Smidgit bigger?

When Smidgit is on the screen move your mouse to the topor bottom corner of the box and an arrow will appear. With your mouse drag the arrow out (toward the middle of your screen) and Smidgit will enlarge. Smidgit will remember the last size you had and pop up with that size the next time it appears.

Sound on Smidgit
• How to I turn the sound off permanently and then turn it back on? 

It's very easy. Just double click on your Smidgit icon in your system tray.

Once Smidgit is running click on the SPEAKER icon in the Smidgit menu and you will see a slider bar appear with a MUTE box.

TICK the mute box and the sound will STOP for this Smidgit appearance and all future appearances.
To turn the sound back ON ... repeat the same process above and UN-TICK the mute box and you will again hear the Smidgit audio.

• I have purchased a Smidgit™ licence and received the licence file in my email. What do I do now?

Firstly, thanks for buying our product. We hope it will bring a smile on your face and assist in improving your health and wellbeing during your many hours of work at the computer.

Once you load the licence file in to Smidgit™, you will have access to all of the PAID features of Smidgit™.

OK. You need to save the file from your email to anywhere convenient on your computer. Usually by opening the email, right clicking on the attached licence file and selecting ‘Save As...’. This will open the ‘Save Attachment’ window. Now select a convenient Folder for saving the licence file. You could use ‘My Documents’ or ‘Desktop’ or somewhere on your C: Drive. It is purely up to you, but you need to remember where you saved it (or write it down). Do NOT change the filename! Once you have selected the destination folder or drive, press ‘Save’.

Now start Smidgit™. Right click on the Smidgit icon in the system tray (down near the time on the right side of the taskbar). The Smidgit™ menu will popup. Select ‘Load Licence File’. A browsing window will open. Browse to the location where you saved the licence file earlier, select the file and press ‘Load’. Smidgit™ will take a copy of the licence file and load it in. If the licence file is valid, Smidgit™ will switch to PAID mode and off you go. Now enjoy the full features of SmidgitTM.
