quote In the News ==== by Paul Thurrott, [email protected] Special Report: Microsoft to Offer Free AntiSpyware, Major IE Update for Windows XP Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates surprised analysts yesterday during his keynote address at the RSA Conference 2005 security show in San Francisco when he announced that his company would offer its Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware product to consumers for free and issue a major new version of Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) users later this year. Previously, Microsoft had pledged to not ship a new IE version until Longhorn, which is due in May 2006. "Our primary goal is to improve security and safety for all our customers--consumers and businesses, regardless of size--through a balance of technology innovation, guidance and industry leadership," Gates said. "We're committed to continued innovation that addresses the threats of today and anticipates those that will undoubtedly emerge in the future." In addition to the Windows AntiSpyware and IE news, Gates also pledged to release a paid, managed version of Windows AntiSpyware for businesses, announced the completion of the long-delayed Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 Enterprise Edition, and briefly discussed the company's antivirus plans. Microsoft's decision to release Windows AntiSpyware for free is a good one: Arguably, the many security problems in its IE application are largely behind the growing malware threat that Windows users face today. "Spyware ... is something we need to nip now," Gates said. "We made the decision that all of our Windows licensees should have [antispyware] capability." Gates noted that more than 6 million people have downloaded the free Windows AntiSpyware beta since it was released in January. He also noted that the free Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, which is automatically downloaded from Automatic Updates and Windows Update, has been installed and run on more than 133 million PCs since the first version shipped in January. News of a new IE version--which Gates said will be called IE 7.0-- was also unexpected, mostly because the company had routinely denied that it could ship such a program before Longhorn. As recently as November 2004, Microsoft Director of Windows Product Management Gary Schare went on a press tour to discuss misconceptions in the press about IE security. He told me at that time that Microsoft wouldn't ship a major new IE version until Longhorn. That's all changed: Responding somewhat gallantly to customer requests, Microsoft is changing its browser strategy and will release IE 7.0 in 2005. The decision to ship a new IE version comes with many caveats. First, IE 7.0 will be available only to XP SP2 users. Customers using earlier versions of XP or other Windows versions need not apply. Microsoft justifies this decision by noting that only XP SP2 includes the underpinnings necessary to secure IE 7.0. Also, although Gates noted that IE 7.0 will include major new security enhancements, including technologies to combat phishing, malware, and spyware, he was tight-lipped about whether IE 7.0 would include major new functionality. Many customers, for example, have been asking Microsoft to add the tabbed browsing capability that's common in other browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox. Finally, Gates noted that the same IE 7.0 version that it will ship later this year would be rolled into Longhorn in 2006. As far as XP SP2 goes, however, Gates had nothing to report but success. More than 170 million copies of XP SP2 have been distributed to customers worldwide, Gates said. And 77 percent of the 800 enterprise customers Microsoft polled recently told the company that they're committed to deploying XP SP2 within the next 6 months. Gates also announced that a beta version of Microsoft Update, the online Web service that will eventually replace Windows Update and update all supported Microsoft applications, servers, and services, will appear in mid-March. Also, the long-awaited Windows Update Services (WUS), which replaces Microsoft Software Update Services (SUS), will ship in the first half of 2005: This tool will help small- and medium-sized businesses develop a patch-management infrastructure inhouse for free. And the enterprise edition of ISA Server 2004 is finally complete, Gates noted. ISA Server 2004 Enterprise Edition adds enhanced manageability, scalability, and availability, according to the company. As for Microsoft's expected antivirus solution, Gates had little to say. It will be a "broad consumer offering," he noted, that will be available by year's end. That date's a lot later than many people had expected, with some analysts predicting that Microsoft's antivirus solution would soon ship in at least beta form. Gates didn't discuss licensing or pricing, nor did he offer many details about the enterprise antivirus product based on Sybari technologies that the company will develop. Despite the amazing array of security-related announcements, Gates didn't express much confidence that the company would absolutely be able to repel every electronic attack. "I'm very optimistic [that] we will be able to mitigate the security problems," he said. That's nice, but it's a far cry from an unequivocal pledge to end the pain Windows users feel.

Steve S welcome to the forum the topic has been covered many many times nothing is sacred on the web and if you were a member of the forum or an owner of a show -- you had the exe saved to a cd-r your computor crashed and you lost all you pictures would you not want to know how you could recover them from the exe this has happened to so many members of the forum that boxig made his little program to make it easier for them to recover their picts. you can buy video authoring software that comes with a screen capture feature built in we have no control over our shows once they leave our computer we do not advocate ripping -- the person that you referred to may have posted for the first time but has owned ptoe for some time i owned it for +- 6 mos before i even found the forum if there is a will there is a way ken

Ron there are many "jewels" here http://www.blackviper.com/Articles/OS/Inst...tallxphome1.htm his site is very popular there is a black version as well as a white version switch on left side column to change ken

but Brian if you have an intelligent and qualified person do the update and explain what security changes it makes the problems should be minimal i wasnt qualified to do it i hired it ken

Bill there are lots of old wives tales about sp2 floating around the net if you are unsure of installing it get yourself a qualified technician that is wallet friendly and intelligent - have him do a house call and install it and check out your systems there were +- 10 security patches for xp lastweek - see http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/default.mspx http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,...,1764479,00.asp and how long do think it will be before firefox becomes vulnerable?? - so the longer you put it off the older your other equipment is and you may not be able to get drivers for it ken

did you do a create as before you tried the preview preview is causing you the problem at present so forget it run the exe asee what your show looks like ken

reboot and start again add your pictures and no music save and create after each step the try adding one song at a time are you using mp3's that you have used before in a p2e show ken

v.bampton WELCOME TO THE FORUM fonts are MS copyrighted -- i think some mebers have made a slide in a graphic program wit hthe desired font -- saved it as a jpg and entered it in the show if you use the search feature of the forum you will likely find how they have done it for a standard list see http://www.ellies-treasures.com/font%20tut.../essential.html got it from http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=standa...le+Search&meta= ken

does it work if you save as create as if yes run the created exe to preview this will at least take some of the pressure off i always save as create as before prviewing in case something happens to system you can save as/ create as using different names ang et rid of the ones you dont want later ken

bckspc0 welcome to the forum i think what you are looking for is not readily available -- a decompiler - -but as Boxig pointed out to me the other day if you decompile you would likely get just code so if you have lost the original pictures do a screen shot of each i think boxig has an utility to help in thte screen shot process see http://www.thailandphotoalbum.com Programs, utilities, Thailand Photo Albums. http://www.CDautorunMenu.com CD Menu Program http://www.phoneticthaidictionary.com Phonetic English - Thai Dictionary ken

Hilquite save as under a new name create as under a new name then try without music -- un check the box have you tried to make another show - in steps - ie only add X# of slides save as create as and then try preview you can tell i am grasping ken

blinkers see http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...976&hl=regedit4 http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=ST&f=2&t=1746 http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...t=0entry14857 you can use the old number on the new computor if you can read the registry otherwise write to support ken

Hilquite welcome to the forum. with all the MS updates you likely have rebooted several times. i would suggest you set the system to do an "error checking" on next reboot -- prior to xp this was the scandisk function reboot and let it do its thing a defrag is likely in order as well as dumping the temp internet cache then try p2e again have you tried it with the external hd removed ken

no go here either details diana.exe feb 8 2005 10:56 "Exception EListError in module Diana.exe at 00076101. list index out of bounds hope you get it corrected ken

crazygranny what shows on the "burned " disk does it show the proper size, date etc are you making a "file disk" or are you doing a drag and drop and disk is still open have you done a reboot and looked at disk again these sound like simple obvious questions but some little thing in the process is not right and last did you try making the show with the last final edition did you try another show ken

tbphoto Welcome to the forum Apparently there is a way and there has been quite a few threads on the subject use the forunm search function to find the workaround http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...highlite=mac+pc ken

Robert just keep in mind that something is better than nothing -- you could have had camera failure on the trip and got nothing. My niece had battery problems climbing Kilamanjaro this summer - how do think she feels. and ask Alrob about his problems while climbing. count yourself lucky we know you will do your best ken

when the ability to go the AVI to Vcd/Svcd/dvd option first came out there were many complaints about quiver - shimmer -- sharpness etc. i did not have a dvd burner so was limited to vcd/svcd -- soon found out that there were not many svcd capable players on the market so i concentrated my efforts to Vcd's. I also visited specialty shops that have displays showing "ideal" stuff ie: Hollywood -- one in particular was Shrek -- on close examination in certain scenes there was edge quiver-- small but it was there -- I said to myself if Hollywood cant prevent it how can we? When i was able to make dvd's i tried different things -- the most important were -- get rid of borders and use big pictures 600kb to 2 meg and let P2E compress them then take the finished dvd's to the specialty shops and see what you work looks like on a variety of screens --- before i got into the dvd part i used to take a cd full of exe's to computer places and see what they looked like on various monitors. Maybe my theory is wrong but i can tell you the same picture taken on 35mm film doesn’t compare to one taken on 120/6X6 film -- so is my thinking using 100kb picts to make a show vs the 600kb to 2 mb method wrong? not according to my eyes when viewed on various screens - -as yet i have never seen any shows on a projector what i would like to have are the tools to take the shared exes and put them on dvd so i can see what they look like in a room -- the tv brigtness/colour/contrast etc settings are rarely adjusted whereas a monitor and graphics card settings give out different views -- quite often the exe's are too dark when viewed on my monitor due to my personal settings - invariably when i make a show the brightness levels etc are perfect on the 5 tv's in my work room's there was atopic on methods to open an exe long ago but i cant find it and the author of the thread no longer visits:( where are you Stu?? ken

Shelton there havent been any serious complaints as yet - just questions and requests for additional features ken

Cant help you there but there should be somebody on forum that has done it i have a better answer but cant get my brain to process it -- CRS has set in I think people have not embedded but have linked as Ralph does with his menu demo -- and he is out of commission at home getting a new system set up so you cant ask him maybe Ron --ronwil will jump in with a better answer or Alrobin -- think he was typing at same time as i was ken

stonemason there is a sample menu page here as well some utilities that may suit your needs ken http://beechbrook.com/pte/index.asp?catego...yid=5&view=View

Tom i think that problem is Movie Factory itself. Maybe somebody else with Movie factory experience can offer you more help -- sorry -- but at least you are burnin' ken
