I'll pass your comments along to Prolific. You can also send your comments to them and the German firm from whom you purchased the product. I work on porting the software to the Mac. I don't get to decide sales, localization, or upgrade issues.

As to the resolution switching capability, it obviously is not there for the purpose of causing problems. Our testing of resolution switching in the application hasn't shown problems, but there could be some hardware/software combination(s) which triggers a problem. I'd still like a more complete description of your system configuration, settings, and the exact problem that you are seeing. Resolution switching should be disabled in the screen saver. In fact, we've received several requests to enable it (support it) in the screen saver as well. We disabled it in the screen saver precisely because it did cause problems, particularly when the Classic environment was running. As a screen saver module, MA is essentially a "plug-in", running inside another application (the system screen saver). We try to be a bit more conservative in our behavior, in this case (be a "good guest").

Thanks for the pointers on translation problems in the German version. I believe the German firm did the translation themselves. I'll pass your info on to Prolific so they can forward it to the appropriate source. It looks like most (all?) of the problems are due to the size of the interface elements being too small to display the entire translated string. We'll try to get that corrected for a future version.
