My apologies if i am sending this in the wrong forum. When I send a PTE exe file as an attachment in Outlook Express the recipient gets the message "Outlook Express did not allow us to open this type of file. It said it might be harmful for our computer". To guard against viruses ISPs do warn not to open emails containing exe file attachments but how then does one send a genuine PTE exe file? My recipient has tried disabling his virus software and downgrading his security settings to the lowest but he still gets the same message. Members must have encountered this issue and i would be most grateful for the solution. Gordon Cochrane Cardiff UK

Many thanks Peter. I did a test project with 6.5 and it is okay. None of my existing projects work on 6.0 so it is not a 6.5 issue. For some reason, for my old projects 6.0 and 6.5 want the slides to be in the D: directory whereas I can find them fine in C: and I don't use D: It looks like I've got a bit of corruption somewhere so i shall investigate further Keep up the good work Igor - it is a magnificent product. Gordon Cochrane

I've just downloaded 6.5 Beta. It installed okay but when I try to open my existing projects I get an error message saying it cannot find the slides and on the detail list of slides it is looking for it gives the directory as D: whereas all my slides are on my C: directory. Why is it doing this and how to I tell it to look in the C: directory? Many thanks Gordon Cochrane

My old computer crashed and I have replaced it with a Vista system. Fortunately I had saved my important data and photos but when I try to copy my PTE folder to the new computer I get Invalid messages and when I download the latest version I get the trial version. I still have my REG file but when I enter that i also get Invalid message. I have asked Winsoft to email me my registration keys (for deluxe and Videobuilder) but don't get any reply. Igor, if you see this can you help me, please? Have a super Christmas. Gordon Cochrane

I too am in the market for a good laptop so will be very interested in any suggestions (good or bad!). I did order one from Evesham 6 weeks ago to be built to my own spec but when they went into administration I got an email saying they could not supply the ordered machine and I am still waiting to get my money back! So beware folks. Gordon Cochrane Cardiff

To Igor and the team Many congratulations on the final result. I have been pursuing developments right through the beta stage and expect that PTE 5.0 is going to be a market leader. Certainly i am consigning my Proshow Producer to the archives! Very best wishes and thank you Gordon Cochrane Cardiff South Wales U K

John Absolutely fantastic show, 11 out of 10! I suffer from vertigo so baloons are not for me but my wife has been up in baloons in England, South Africa (sun City) and Florida - she loves it! When possible i follow with my camera but I'm not up to your standard, I'm afraid. I especially liked the frame you used in your insets. I presume you did that in Photoshop. I would be most interested to know how you made it or better still if you could post a template on this site or send by email. Look forward to your nest production. Regards Gordon Cochrane South Wales, U K

Hi Dennis I agree with the others - Igor and his team have already done a superb job so let's not delay the final with last minute enhancements. Perhaps your idea can be put into the pending tray for the next version! I have been downloading the various templates recently produced by TheDom and it occurs to me that this may present you with a temporary solutiuon. If you could create a slideshow with as many slides as you are likely to require, apply all the pan/zoom effects you might want to that show and save it as a template. Then when you create a new show you simply substitute your new slides for those in the template. Just an idea! Gordon Cochrane

Hi Mike I too have PSP but since I installed PTE last year I am sticking with it. It is streets ahead of PSP. Why the quality of output should be better i have no idea; maybe the other site experts can answer that. What i love about PTE is this forum. I spend hours every day browsing through and i have learned so much. I feel like I am getting to know the regular contributors so a very big thanks to you all and keep it going. Gordon Cochrane

Hi Dom Many thanks, it now seems to run okay. Gordon

Sorry, Dom, but I'm having problems too! I have downloaded everything and unzipped but I can't find a file called "TheDom-PhotoAlbumExtended-Template.pte". I do have a file called "The Dom - Photo Album-Template-2Pics_Leaves Effect". When I open PTE V5 beta8u and open this file its shows a list of files (but no thumbnails) and when I click Preview I get the error message that it cannot find 4 files each named "Picture:T\2007\SkiMars2007-Gress en Vercors\PhotoAlbum\The Dom-PhotoAlbum-Templates\Title.png. Whjere do I go from here please? Gordon

Yes, that worked fine. Many thanks, Ken and for your prompt response. Gordon

I've been following this topic with interest. I have successfully downloaded the exe.files but when I try to download the tutorial I get the following message "Your session was not validated and anti-leach measures are in effect". I have disarmed my anti-virus, spam and firewwall but still get this message. Can anyone suggest what may be wrong? Many thanks Gordon Cochrane UK

Hi Al I opened up this dialogue out of interest as i am very conscious of the problems when files get lost. I've looked through my file directory and I don't have any file called PTE.KEY or PTE.REG yet I am able to open and use PTE. Am I missing something, please? Gordon Cochrane, Cardiff

Many thanks, Tom. I've downloaded and printed the article so I'll read it and give it a whirl!. Gordon
