Astound Presentation Software



  • Astound is a powerful multimedia presentation authoring program originally for the Mac and Windows. Astound gives you the power to create presentations that persuade, inform, and entertain. Astound makes your presentations memorable. It competed against Microsoft Powerpoint and many others.
  • It is from a Canadian-based company called Gold Disk. Their presentation creation program called Astound created ASD files. I don't think it exists any more, but it was light-years ahead of PowerPoint and even most presentation programs available today. It had a stand-alone player program to play ASD files.
  • Astound 2.0 is the only presentation package that can make multimedia as easy as clicking a button. Every template has multimedia effects built-in - perfect for on-screen presentations! Just click on the 'play' button, and watch graphics dissolve into view, text slide onto the screen a line at a time, and charts tumble and bounce into place.

There are many backup software on the market and some of them does a really good job in making sure that there is an exact copy of the important files available at the backup drive. Although backing up of files is important, many people forget to backup the Windows product key or third party software license that is installed on their computer. When their computer crashes and had to reinstall everything from scratch, they had to go through the trouble of searching for the license number to activate the software that they’ve purchased. If the license key are misplaced and forgotten, they’d have to contact the software support team and provide them with proof of purchase so that they can reissue the license.

The problem is software licenses aren’t stored in one standard location where you can just copy the whole folder to backup and then paste it back to reactivate all the software. They are stored all over the place either in a form of an external file or a registry key. Fortunately we found 10 software that can scan your computer and recover the lost or forgotten product key licenses so you can back it up in case you need to reactivate them again. Computer technicians can also use these software to help customers recover their software license numbers from non-bootable drive.

The asp file extension was used by the presentation software called Astound Presentation released in 1995 for Microsoft Windows operating system. The asp file contains presentation created in the program. The Astound seems to be obsolete product. This asp file type entry was marked as obsolete and no longer supported file format.
