I found a way to automate the start: 1) Choose a backgound picture for the pano (blur or unicolor) 2) Go to customize slide 3) choose "run external application" 4) chosse "own time preference" and set at "display slide for" a time, which the pano needs I think, this is a good work-arround. But I think, dependent of the PC-Power, the speed of the pano will be different? The best way would be a integration in the PTE: 1) Funktion "Add pano" instaed of "add Picture" 2) after the pano closes, the next slide will be play Igor, what do you think about these ideas? Andreas
