Judy, I apologize for this problem! Your slideshow Laoshi-Tiaowu.exe was created in version 4.43 Beta (this version is dated by March 2005). There was a problem in version 4.4x with sound and shows had a problem with exit in Windows Vista/7/8. Since version 4.49 this problem is solved (December 2007). Version 5.0+ also doesn't have this problem (June 2007). I published a convertor for old shows created in versions 4.40-4.48 to patch EXE files with slideshows in December 2007: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/picturestoexe/previous-versions/pte449patch.zip Regrettably in case of Laoshi-Tiaowu.exe it doesn't help, because I didn't include support of beta versions. If EXE file is created in 4.40-4.48 it should work. Please try it with other files. I manually recovered Laoshi-Tiaowu.exe In v4.49: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27544810/temp/Laoshi-Tiaowu_449.exe In 7.5.10 (without transition effect from desktop): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27544810/temp/Laoshi-Tiaowu_7510.exe
