Thanks Lin, I indeed ended up resampling down about 50% and that solved the issue completely. I used ThumbsPlus in batch mode only because it was already installed. Thanks to both of you for your responses.

Thanks for the clarification. I also noticed that the program predicted an exe size of 1.69 gig. When creating the exe the % bar went beyond 100% (about 130%) then went back to 95% and climbed back up to 100%. Maybe there should be some warning built into the program if it exceeds 2.1 gig instead of creating a file that can't be used. Just a suggestion.

I routinely shoot live stage shows for the owners and submit the images on a dvd using PicturesToExe for review. This has worked fine in the past. This time I've got 540 photos at about 5megs each with the resulting exe file at 2.5 gigs. PicturesToExe previews fine and creates the exe but the exe is not readable. Nothing happens when the exe is double clicked but it is listed in the Processes tab of Task Manager. This has never happened before. I tried moving the file to another computer with the same result. I tried uninstalling ver. 4.48 and installing ver. 4.2 with the same result. Is this a bug?
