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

Judy, I can check up on Monday with Windows 8 at my office. Please can you upload for me 2 sample shows from those old ones which don't play on Win 8?

From technical support of HostGator:

Our web hoster is working on this problem right now.

We didn't change web hoster (HostGator.com), they moved forum to a new server. I'll contact them regarding this problem.

Yes, it was done 10 hours ago.

We moved forum to a new server today. Please let me know in case of any problems.

Hello Tom, I confirm your findings. We'll check up and I'll reply about result.

Da Campos, P.S. I will welcome new unofficial forums on Spanish and Italian languages about PicturesToExe like Diapositif and Diaporama in France. Personally I think that it would be wonderful if German users could run independent unofficial PTE forum, because our current forum has English interface by default.

Niagara, Thank you for the information! Your video card is very powerful. PicturesToExe shows should play ideally smooth on your PC. I created two test shows. One file in 7.0.7 and the second one in latest 7.5.10. Please compare smoothness of panning. On my PC I see no difference. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27544810/pte/LargeImages_707.exe https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27544810/pte/LargeImages_7510.exe Xaver, Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Can I reply you on English?

Thanks for the confirmation! Also I'll update list of hotkeys in official user manual.

Thanks, Please try the updated test version: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe It's stable version, will be published later as 7.5.10.

Hello, Thanks for details! Here is previous version 7.5.7: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/test/picturestoexe-setup-757.exe Can you please install it and export a video file to reproduce that problem?

Hello, Did you use a preset or custom parameters for AVI file? Please can you send me a screenshot of AVI output window with settings before you click "Convert" button?

I think the problem in the old S3 video card. It has only 64 MB of video memory. PicturesToExe requires at least 128 MB.

Thanks! Regrettably I can't reproduce this problem, yet. Can you try to delete an image object before you add an mask. Will you see the error message now? What video card installed in your PC or laptop?

Thanks for details! Do you use a mask from a list of presets? Circle/Rectangle? Can you please make a screenshot before you click the OK button to confirm adding of the mask?

Please let me know: 1. Did you have same problem with previous version 7.5? For example, 7.5.8. 2. Can you easily reproduce this problem in the latest 7.5.9? If yes, please give me step by step instruction. 3. What is you your screen resolution? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for first responses! I forgot to ask - please write if you had delays with startup of previous updates/versions of PicturesToExe.

Please try to downloaded the latest version 7.5.9 I posted today. http://www.wnsoft.com/files/picturestoexe/picturestoexe-setup.exe Do you see any delay when you launch the installation file before you see the security message from Windows?
