Thanks. I'll give that a try. Jaz

How do I create a strobe effect? I'm thinking that I have to have a very short time for each slide to display and to have no transition effects? What is the shortest time a slide can be displayed? What is the setting? What are any of the shows' other settings? Any help is appreciated. Jaz

Thanks to all that have responded. I will try your suggestions and report back the results. Once again, thanks for your help. Jaz

Al, I changed the file size to 1024x768 @ 72 pixels per inch. The were JPEGed at 12 the best quality. This made it go much faster. My question is that if I show these slides at the above size, will they look good being 10-15 feet across? Thanks for your help. Jaz PS If I use MP3 files for the music, will this keep the slide show at a quicker rate?

Al This didn't seem to do the trick. Got any other suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help. Jaz

I tried to do a slide show on my Dell Laptop. It has a Pentium3 and 512megs of RAM which I think is plenty of horsepower. At times, it was running so slow that the transitions were choppy and the show went really out of whack and only showed the 1st two slides repetedly out of about 140 slides. The slide show was about 220 megs. What gives? Am I overloading it? What is the optimum dimension of each slide?(ex. - 1024x768 at 72 dpi?). When I ran the show on my Dell, it was a test for a slide show I want to do infront of the local garden club using a digital projector. I'm going to need to project the images 10-15 ft wide. Is there a slide dimension suggested for this big? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks. Jaz PS I also want to do a very fast strobe effect on 4-6 slides in my slide show. I slowed down each slide to show it - 0 seconds and 10 ms. but it doesn't seem to slow it down that slow (maybe one half second). Is there any way to accomplish this? Thanks again!
