Hi, I' ve been using AMS since v.2 and have come a long way, baby. I had a rush situation today where I really needed to get PowerPoint to work standalone, and long story short, I downloaded AutoRun Max. It's great, I got the demo out, but now I'm confused as to when it's better to use AMS and when it's better to use AutoRun. Can you combine the two? If I'm creating complex applications the AMS tools seem to have more to offer, so should I stick with AMS? Or can I swap things in and out between them?

As you can probably tell, I'm really confused! :huh

The engine behind these tools is almost identical so as far as end user experience and technical stability go they are both great. It really comes down to the needs of your project. The AutoPlay line has wonderful flexibility and many advanced controls that MAX doesn't (Flash, Web, Combo, ListBox, Scripting, plugins ect ect). But for making good looking strait forward autoruns it may be quicker and easier to use MAX.

It's like asking a parent which child he/she loves the most, tough question since they are both great tools in their own way.
