I understood the term 'Photo-Copying' to mean the copying of photos. I can't imagine any other interpretation, and that is ripping off another person's images. Steve

Infringement of copyright. Or in other words, THEFT. The number of times it is done does not make it legal. I am not a lawyer, but I would not count on your defence holding up in court. Steve

Ron, I do agree. I don't why the author of a slide show has a legitimate requirment for a screen capture tool. Steve

You don't have to have to use Ulead Factory. There are other apps about. Have you not got any sw with your DVD burner? Steve

Windows Media Player must be one of the easiest options for ripping CDs. Certainly if it is an infrequent task. Steve

Ken, I have nothing against IrfanView, and do use it, but it is not part of my main workflow. What I do find very useful is its batch conversion. Steve

Ken, BB does not have a "save as" when it comes to editing EXIF/IPTC. Steve

The progs I use for maintaining EXIF/IPTC are: - Downloader LPro - Breeze Browser - IMatch - Exif Utilities - Photoshop For free stuff, try: - ExifReader - Photo Studio - Exifer - jhead Steve

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to create flash presentations from P2E slideshows. I have done a forum search, and found stuff about incorporating flash into P2E, but I want to do it the other way. I know very little (assume nothing) about flash, so forgive me if it is blindingly obvious. I am downloading the Flash trial, so any pointers as to how to do this, if at all, would be appreciated. TIA Steve

You could always try a script. Steve

You might want to have a look at this site. It has a lot of stuff, and I remember seeing something about aspect ratios etc. Steve

What screen res are you using? I add strokes, and they show up no problem, but the images are less than screen res. If they are the same as screen res, then its possible that the edges of teh screen are missing. Steve

It is limited by the file types it supports though. Steve

I use my laptop as, amongst other things, a DDV player. I have a Dell Inspiron 1100, and I would expect the setup to be different, depending upon what machine you have. My laptop has an S-Video TV-out (for video), and headphone socket (for audio). I connect these to the TV with an S-video cable and an audio cable. These cables should be fairly standard, available from most TV stores or specialist electrical shop. Once connected, I just change the output to the TV. I have a number of ways of doing this, but using the control panel is one of them. I don't know if all laptops will support this, but I would imagine that most recent ones will. If possinble, there should normally be some instructions supplied with the laptop for doing this. Unless you have a Dell Inspiron, I can't be much more specific, but if you do, let me know and I can give you more details if required. Steve

It is off course possible to connect a TV monitor directly to a PC, such as a laptop, and show the slideshow that way. Steve

No, they won't run. Pocket PC is another platform, just like a mac is, and presentaions won't run on macs. Steve

Brian, Concerning 1), he is reporting this as a result of the problem he is having, and not the problem itself. If he did not get this, but had a presentation that ran, he would still have the same problem. He has subsequently confirmed that his problem is as per my understanding, so lets leave it there. Kurt, If you have no Notepad.exe on your machine, how come you managed to run it from the command prompt, in response to a previuous post? Depending on how you are doing your search, you have to search system folders. This is often an option somewhere. But just try the one I suggested last time. This is the Windows std installation, and if this does not work, then notepad.exe muist have been moved, but I reckong it is still there, but in a system folder. Steve

All Time/Date does in notepad is insert the date in the document. It has no relevance to the problem here. The version of PTE has no relevance to the problem here. You can have 2 exe files in the Autorun.inf, and besides it has no relevance to the problem. Just to remind everybody, Kurt has two problems: 1) How to open his .inf file in notepad for editing. 2) The notepad menu item from his start button is not starting notepad. Lets try and help him by staying on track. Steve

This is not calling the exe file twice. It is calling it once, and loading the icon from the exe. There is nothing wrong with this .inf file, and it has nothing, repeat nothing, to do with the original problems posted here. Steve

Kurt, 1) OK, the problem you have when opening the .inf file is clear. On Windoze, each file type will have a "default" action. This action is what happens when you "run" the file, such as double-click or hit enter from explorer. Other file types have other actions. E.g. a .txt file will open in notepad, a .doc file will open in Word (if installed). This is all configuarble, but for a .inf file the default end up running the contents of the file. This is the same as when the CD is inserted in the CD drive. So, double clicking executes the presentation, and you have that presentation set to expire after a certain date, which is before now. If you right-click on the .inf file, you should have an option "open with". Select this, and if a suitable edit prog is not listed, select the "choose program..." option. Then navigate to your editor prog. This will then open it for editing, and that prog will be available of the open with menu for this file type in the future. There are other ways of doing this, but this is probably the easiest. 2) What are you getting in the target box when you select properties after right-clicking on the notepad menu item? It sounds as though this has got messed up. You have a "search for target" button. Use this to navigate to where notepad.exe does exist. On my system, it is "%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe". Try pasting this into the target box, without the quotes, but with the %. Steve

Kurt, Again, how are you trying to open your .inf file? If you don't answer this, we can't help you. A .inf file, as you know is just a plain text file, but the default action, if it has not been changed, is to run it, not edit it. It sounds as though you are running it, but if you don't answer the question, I don't know. Concerning starting Notepad, navigate to your accessories menu, but right click on Notepad, and at the bottom of the menu, select properties. This will bring up a dialog that shows where the exe file is. What is in the "Target" edit box? Check that notepad.exe does exist there. When you left click, what exactly is happening? Also what OS are you on? Steve

How are you trying to open your Autorun.inf file? What are you trying to use to edit it? It is exceedingly unlikley that trying to open this file for editing will result in this message. You could be just trying to run the file instead of edit it. Is notepad opening up off screen? Does it appear on your task bar? If it does, right-click on it on the task bar. If move is greyed-out, select restore. Right click again, select move. Left click and drag until your cursor appears on screen, then release. Steve

I am a little unclear what you are doing here, and where the mac G4 comes in. What exactly is the mac G4 doing in this scenario? Reading your post, I would conclude that you have uploaded you demo to a mac G4, and he has downloaded it from this mac. If so, why is the mac relevant? If you want help, it would be a good idea to include a bit more info. Things like what machine/os you have created the slideshow on. Also what machine/os your client is trying to run it on. Also more details of the error would be nice, and exactly what he is doing to try and get it to run. Steve

Hi, Does anybody else have a problem with the about box? When I select it, the stuff comes up, the names scroll, but the cancel button does not work. I can't shut the ****** thing down, other than using task manager to kill p2e. Steve

I had an error when I initially tried to register p2e recently. It must have taken me about 2 minutes to sort it out, using information avaiable on this forum. Steve
