Hi Brian and everyone, I did get the p2e to zip, followed your advice in earlier e-mail posted that I dod do it.....was pretty darn simple as I have a zip program on xp as it is...so utilized that, I think the program was new and just getting to know everything at one time....now I have it and have made several slide shows..THANKS Everyone for AL your help...it has been a lesson well learned.!!!

where do I go to d/l 4.43 I also have 4.42

Hi Everyone, Well I have the zip format down PAT...........aside from some can't open due to size of file. Now I need to find out how to put on web page as a link, would that make it easir to open, and if I do send as a Zip file, what size is best so miost can open without errors, saying file is too big??? Thanks all for the help so far everyones been great and helped me tremendously.

I am having problems with the zip program on my home computer I now know how to send a slide show via e-mail but that ws from work on work computer the home computer had winzip I took it out now has only xp zip now just keeps on loading even after I compress it should I d/l win zip again. I am close but no cigar

When you say Folder where is it, in p2e or on the computer iself somewhere????

One last thing (I promise for now :-)................when you have an mp3 with the slide show does it take that much longer to load because I did another with this trial version and the first went thru fairly quickly but no music, the second has music and is taking forever ..

OK Kurt and will try that and do you think I have to re do the slide show, it has 53 pics in it maybe resize the pics woul dhelp it as well???

Well I did something here at work, I downloaded a trial version here at work as I have the original at home and I assume you can only have one version of the reg runnin. Anyway I got it downloaded and thought I'd play with it well I have a few pictures in the slide show and guess what I created it and it went to exe file of course, then I went to where I saved it, right clicked sent it to zip file and wa laaaaaaaaaa it worked :-) Now I wonder why I am having so much trouble at home?? Does windows XP have it's own zip program buit in because here at work I dont have a zip file loaded, and I have at home, winzip, and another I forget teh name righ now, and those I am having trouble with Maybe I need to start all over witht he slide presentation???

One more thing, is there a good zip program out there, free...I have winzip eval and it says when I want to zip a package that the eval program is not for distribution of zip files the way it sounds is I can only un zip with it.

Well I must be zipping the wrong thing, but I create and it says exe on bottom of page, then I save it in the program I have for it (in this case Documents) but when I zip I think I am zipping the right thing but it says pts on it so cant be have to check carefully forthe exe ext , as when I zip it even in pte it shows up as exe on the computer I send it to but that doesnt meant it is I can see that now. Have to play more with it.... Thanks for everyone tips and ideas one day I will get it ..I wish it was like Photo Impact where you can chage the formate ie from jpg to gif to bmp and in ths case from pte to exe etc whatever will work as long as it isnt pte. Maybe that wuld be a good idea for future programs :-)

Thanks Lumen and Digital, WI will try that tonight, when I did zip it such as you said but from wihtin a zip program itself, what happens is it shows it packed, then I found it in lisitings sent it to e-mail, hubbys as he doesnt have p2e went to open it it did but said was a pte ext no proram installed to open it in fact instead of say ummm shows.zip it ends up on the recpients e-mail as show.exe ????? now I tried to open what i sent to hubby on this copmputer which is at work, I dont have p2e here either, and it said same thing, "Cannot find the associated program for c:\Documents and settings\ Cindy\MyDocuments\MCCTShow.pte" now this is after I put it into a zip format (or so I thought, and when I opened it to download it came up with MCCT2005.exe when that opened the error I mentioned came up. thats what I get on hubbys puter as well, so I have to be doing somehting wrong :-(

I can see I need to zip my program before it can be sen by anyone else, I tried to do that and when I did open it even hubby opened on his puter and it wouldn't open, actuall on his computer it came as an exe file and it was blocked so did;nt even get to see if it works. Long story short what program is good for zipping and will it open as a zip or exe file???

Lin this is very good information and your site is very impressive. I have a lot to learn yet I know it but thats OK I have already learnd a lot so far. Thanks for all the informaiton.

Steve you may be right......I know I have created a zip file from winzip, or so it said it was until I opened it up and it did what I mentioned in the post. I did create an exe file from my slide show, I hit create (is that right) and then after that I saved it then opened a zip program and found it and packed it and zipped it, but still had the problems, I will try again tonight.

Thank you Steve, I have tried to make a zip file but evidently what I am doing is wrong as when I make one (or so it says *zip*) when I do send it and open it it opens a few folders then comes to Pic to exe and of course no one has the program to open that says not recognized. I have to be doing something wrong!!!!! WinZip says eval only thats what I make the file from, what am I doing wrong , I hit create on the slide show, it creates an exe file but still shows up as .pte..... I am so sorry to be a pest and I know this is so easy I can see that I HAVE to be doing something wrong!!!!
