I'm very embarrassed... The message appearing before me while attempting to run what I thought was an incomplete, new slideshow, in actuality was the result of previewing another slideshow that my assistant had done a few months ago. It had a timeout and the pop up message he made for the clients was... yes, you guessed it... "Time to put your album together. Please call". Well, it timed out several weeks ago and the message popped up. I guess this is the problem with more than one person working on a machine over a period of time! Anyway, thanks for the quick response everyone. The Beta 6 works absolutely great and the new transitions are something I'm looking forward to playing with. Larry T
