Please see my new email and PM message.

Ray, Mary, Please reply in that topic on my questions: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12549 Thanks! Brian, Wikipedia says it's can has 2 to 6 cores: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_i7 This problem is a mystery for me! I don't understand why this freezing happens only in Windows 7 (not in Vista) and only with Aero Glass interface. We've checked many times our code. If we make obvious mistakes DirectX informs us in debug mode.

Mary, Please let me know: 1) Is it possible to run created executable files of slideshows? 2) Do you know a number of cores in the Intel CPU - 2 or 4? I recommend try install the latest drivers for your video card from NVIDIA website.

I just re-sent again your license key in email. Please let me know about result.

Xaver, Please see my reply in that thread: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8144&view=findpost&p=80820

Thanks, Xaver! I plan implement similar feature to the next version 7.5. Did you see "History of changes" (under File sub-menu) in Google Documents? You can return back state of your project to a day ago or a month ago. This feature will store only .pte project file (no pictures or audio files). There will be a special storage (a folder) in system folder (like Templates folder). And the program will pack a project into ZIP archive. It's a fully automated system, it will correctly recognize when you copy, rename or Save As project inside PicturesToExe or outside in Windows and provide history of changes for cloned/copied/new projects. Probably I'll add Import/Export to move history of changes to another PC. There is only minor concern - isn't this system too complicated?

Please imagine how many copies of PicturesToExe's source files I have to do? Every day, for any all alpha, beta or final versions. Discs, HDD, flash drives. You will not excuse me if I lose sources files of PicturesToExe

1) Please let me know what video card installed in your computer? I recommend to update (or re-install) drivers for your video card. 2) Did you perform a new installation or with importing of settings from previous version? Please uninstall version 6.5 and try new clear installation.

Dave, Not necessary. It's even same file.

PicturesToExe Deluxe 6.5.4 is available now Download link: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/picturestoexe-setup.zip (8 MB) Changes in version 6.5.4 * Fixed issue (v4.1.x-v6.5.3) with duration of some MP3 audio files. Playback stopped earlier on several seconds. * Fixed issue (v6.5.0-v.6.5.3) with incorrect visual size of a picture in fullscreen preview for a selected image in the File list. * Fixed rare problem (v6.0.0-v6.5.3) with freezing of the program when user tries to create executable file for PC.

Eric, Thank you for the confirmation!

We've decided move Blur feature of objects for a further version after 7.0. Apparently it will be 7.5. There is a need to vastly rewrite graphical engine to vastly optimize Blur effect and reduce requirements for video card. That was a bad news. There is good news. We've added another fantastic effect/option which will be useful for almost all users. I came up with this idea (and technical realization) in mountains of North Wales during my recent vacation. I consider this feature as a main key feature of version 7.0 and great step in evolution of PicturesToExe. No other slideshow software has this feature yet.

PicturesToExe Deluxe 6.5.4 Beta is available now This beta replaces previous version 6.5.3 after installation. Download link: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/picturestoexe-beta.zip (8 MB) Changes in version 6.5.4 * Fixed issue (v4.1.x-v6.5.3) with duration of some MP3 audio files.

Please read this page on WnSoft website: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/order.htm See "Upgrades for Existing Users of PicturesToExe".

Dave, Since September 29th we send key for new customers only as text inside email (no attached file). But for requests of lost keys or missed emails we temporarily send license keys as attached files. It related with need to rewrite our internal software for license keys. I think we'll send all keys as a text within a week or so.

It's a message of PicturesToExe. I think it caused by incompletely downloaded (or damaged) executable file. Please compare file size of original and downloaded files. I recommend to download the file again. Probably better to pack the executable file into ZIP archive.

Dave, That was a funny confusion We will try be more attentive reading posts. One minor thing. I couldn't send you PM over forum ("The member can not use the messaging system", probably the mail box is full?), so I write this here. I've removed a mention of our Gmail address from your post: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12504&view=findpost&p=80533 Because even once published on a webpage email address will be a target for spam bots earlier or later.

Thanks, Dave, Alena works at our company (WnSoft). I'll say her about this mistake with email address tomorrow.

Eric, Excuse me, it's language mistake

ebkw I'm sorry for this problem! Although we send license keys as a text inside email now, a letter still can be blocked by spam filters on a server or in your mailing program. Usually a customer should receive his license key in several minutes. I just asked Alena to resend you the license key. Please let me know when you receive it.

PicturesToExe Deluxe 6.5.3 is available now Download link: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/picturestoexe-setup.zip (8 MB) Changes in version 6.5.3 + Fixed issue (v6.5.0-v6.5.2) with incorrect adding of animated GIF images in the Objects and animation editor in some cases. + Fixed visual bug in the Objects and animation editor when slide has tiled background picture and Mask object(s). + Minor improvements in the Objects and animation editor. + Fixed issue (v6.5.0-v6.5.2) with quality of preview of large images choosed in the File list. + Updated language files.

Ken, I'm very glad. Thanks for this information!

Eric, Thank you! We just fixed this bug with GIF images. Please try v6.5.3 Beta: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/picturestoexe-beta.zip Bernard, This is normal behaviour of the program if you clicked "Save and Use by Default" function (on Properties tab of Image objects). This function will remember default settings of current Image object and will apply it for newely added Images.

Pat, Please check settings in the main menu | View | File List Sort Order. "Name" is choosed and "Reverse Order" is UNchecked. Please give me more info on the next point. You said that images appear in a wrong order in the slide list. Please check up captions/titles under images in the Slide list. Are they correct? Can I ask you record a video by digital camera to show this issue on a display, if it possible.

I'll prepare tomorrow a special test version. Thank you for the help!
