OK, I'll set disabled this option by default, And probably global option for new images who want to use this option by default.

Peter, I just improved this moment. For example, when you in O&A editor and you image object is Picture1.jpg and name of this object - "Picture1". Now if you replace this image to Picture2.jpg, object name automatically will be updated to "Picture2". If object name is unique - you changed it manually (say "MyImage"), PicturesToExe will keep old object name.

Thanks. These tests (with hardware acceleration and without) exactly show that the problem in response time of a display. Not in PicturesToExe.

Peter, I think it's problem with display's response time. And 16 ms. or 8 ms. don't say truth. For example, my LCD Sony SDM-M51 display has 50 ms. of response time, but in fact it has response time better than many 16 ms. displays I've seen. Download this file and run both EXE files: http://www.wnsoft.com/test/Box.zip (500 KB) Please let me know about result.

Dominique, When I added reply to one topic, it unexpectedly was moved to another forum section. Because of this I suspect it can be a bug in the forum. I'll watch for this moment.

Unfortunately it's a bug in ATI drivers for Windows XP. And my headache. ATI ignores color gamma settings in fullscreen mode which you adjusted for desktop. We can't get an answer from ATI when they will fix this problem. On January they promissed fix it in the future but didn't write when exactly. Maybe we can all together prepare petition to ATI?

Thank you! Excuse me, that I still didn't reply on your suggestions and ideas! When we prepare release candidate in week or so and solve last several problems I'll begin reply on your messages. And please don't worry, here all ideas well placed in one section and I'll regularly visit and read your suggestions.

Is this problem solved now? In beta 12 we did 0% of CPU loading when slide show not in foreground (or paused) it may improve starting another slide show from menu. In beta 13 we'll additiolly improve this moment and it should fully help.

We apologize about this stupid bug in beta 10! I'm happy that it works now. I recommend you use latest beta 12.

I think will be at least several beta versions. I hope we will release v5.00 in 3 or 4 weeks (when will solve all current problems).

Markus, Richard, Thank you for the help! Newest Beta 12 fully solves this problem with synchronization.

PicturesToExe Deluxe v5.00 Beta 12: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr-deluxe_beta.zip (4 MB) New features in v5.00 http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4327 New features in Beta 12: + Visual improvements in Screen tab of Project options window. + "Perspective correction for Zoom" option is set by default for all objects. + Various small improvements. * Fixed problem with synchronization on some sound cards. * Fixed problem with cropping of left side of Text object with some fonts. Please post bug-reports in special topic: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6455

We removed customization of text comment for some slide because you can do it in Objects and Animation editor now. And you see result immediately on the screen.

Matrox video card far not so fast as NVIDIA or ATI. Matrox good in 2D, but work in 3D mode is very slow. And large 1600x1200 screen resolution too difficult for slide show with Pan/Zoom effects.

Colin, I apologize for this problem and delay! You mistakenly placed order for Personal license ($24) instead of "Upgrade to Deluxe" ($20). I just refunded this order. Please order it again ("Upgrade to Deluxe"). This mistake happened because earlier it was necessary to manually choose "Upgrade to Deluxe" from a list when you opened registration web page. Now in latest beta 11 we corrected the registration link and it automatically sets "Upgrade to Deluxe". I just sent you your VideoBuilder registration key.

Barry, I just posted new article "Windows Vista and PicturesToExe" to "Tutorials and Articles" section of the forum: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index....st=0#entry41106

Windows Vista and PicturesToExe PicturesToExe v5.00: Slide shows: + Created EXE files with slide shows perfectly work under Windows Vista. Main program of PicturesToExe: + Version v5.00 better support new graphical inteface of Windows Vista: 3D animation of minimizing/restoring of windows. - If main program of PicturesToExe doesn't work and crashes when you try to run PicturesToExe. It happens if you or 3rd party security program set "Data Execution Prevention" option for all programs. By default this option turned on only for some programs, not for all. (Control Panel | System | Advanced | Performance). Please set this option to default value as shown on attached below screenshot and restart Windows. We'll try to fix it. This problem happens because we use protection of PicturesToExe against fraudulent registration keys. PicturesToExe v4.48: Slide shows: + Created EXE files with slide shows perfectly works under Windows Vista. - "Transition effect to desktop"/"Transition effect from desktop" options are not supported. In fact created slide show plays as it created without this option. (It's result of limitation of Windows Vista.) Main program of PicturesToExe: - If main program of PicturesToExe doesn't work and crashes when you try to run PicturesToExe. It happens if you or 3rd party security program set "Data Execution Prevention" option for all programs. By default this option turned on only for some programs, not for all. (Control Panel | System | Advanced | Performance). Please set this option to default value as shown on attached below screenshot and restart Windows. - Main program of PicturesToExe doesn't support smooth animation of a window on minimizing/restoring window (3D effect when Aero Glass interface of Windows Vista used).

Peter, We'll optimize several moments in next beta 12 and I think is slide show started from menu slide will start and play better. Please try in next beta 12 again. Does this problem with wrong mouse cursor always happen on your PC or rarely? Will it occur if create a show with only one slide and one text or button?Will this problem if set windowed mode for this slide show? Let me know, please, what version of Windows you have installed?

Alain, I leave it for the next versions and move this topic to "Suggestions and Ideas" forum.

Markus, Thank you! I hope final MusicTest5 will fully help: http://www.wnsoft.com/test/apr-deluxe_beta12_Musictest5.zip (2 MB)

Please try this Beta 12 MusicTest2 http://www.wnsoft.com/test/apr-deluxe_beta12_musictest2.zip (2 MB) It should solve problem with synchronization.

Please try newest pre-beta 12 MusicTest 3 (Three) http://www.wnsoft.com/test/apr-deluxe_beta12_MusicTest3.zip (2 MB) Thanks in advance!

Please say me, how you consider, can this moment be leaved for the next version 5.10? I think it can take additional vast time.

In Windows Vista this option "Show transition effect to desktop after slide" in fact doesn't work. Slide show will play as without this option. Also even under Windows XP with hardware acceleration used in v5.00 this option could work with short flashing. Because of this we didn't included it to v5.00

We will try to optimize work of two hardware accelerated slide shows simultaneously. Please wait for beta 12.
