  1. I have a question regarding my Pictures To Exe key. I was an early purchaser & understood that my key would work on all new versions. I have not used PTE much in the past few years but am getting back into using it. The newest version I have that my key is 7.5.10. Info says: Standard features: Free lifetime upgrades My key does not work with version 8. Inbfo says: Evaluation copy. Do I need a new key for version 8?
  2. I also received the same message & it has been quite a while since I last posted here. My message was posted from "mercy".
  3. I found out about this problem through you in one of the earlier PTE beta versions. I have not had much time to work on shows for a while and have only been monitoring the forum without inputting any further beta test info.. I just finished building a new computer system & did the best possible protest to ATI. I rembered your statement that NVIDIA cards/drivers do not have this problem so I put an NVIDIA evga 7950 GT KO video card into the new system. If enough people switched to other video systems then ATI would have to correct this problem.
  4. IS ogg audio recognition not implemented in 5.00 beta 4 yet? If I have a show with an ogg soundtrack and preview it from within beta 4 or run it as an exe created with beta 4 the show hangs up before the first image. The show runs properly if the soundtrack is an mp3 file.
  5. In some cases the color correction profile stops being used by the system after a DirectX application exits. Also if the DirectX application ran immediately again, in some cases the system will spontaneously restart using the color correction profile when the program exits, without having to reload the color correction profile with the gamma program. This NVIDIA information is very interesting to know, especially since I will soon be starting to aquire parts for building my next computer.
  6. Beta_3___Project1.zip I created a 1 image EXE file with a zoom animation with beta 3. Rebooted Ran EXE 15 times ok Opened & closed PTE 5 beta 3 Ran EXE 10 times ok Opened & closed Word (Office 2003 SP2) Ran EXE 4 times ok Ran EXE, profile toggled off Ran EXE, profile toggled on Rebooted Ran EXE about 60 times with a few other apps opened & closed periodically without problems. I do not know if this is good or bad news. I also attached the file I used for testing.
  7. Ok I lied in my other post when I said I would try beta 3 tomorrow. I couldn't wait and tried it today. There is still a problem with the program created with beta 3 unloading the monitor profile. My test program unloaded it at least 4 times during my testing. The program would run 4 or 5 times ok, toggle the profile off, toggle it back on, then run numerous times ok. I havn't quite determined the pattern or what other variables affect it to enable me to create and predict it I also did not previously say which driver version I am running. Catalyst 6.3 Windows 2000 filename 6-3_xp-2k_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_30895.exe. I reinstall my system clean periodically, this driver was not installed over a previous version.
  8. I just downloaded beta #3. I will try it out tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work and sleepless nights.
  9. I ran KeepGamma.exe numerous times in succession and it seems to work ok.
  10. RestoreGamma.exe does not work on my system, it unloads the profile and leaves it unloaded.
  11. Running NoGamma.cmd multiple times in succession toggles monitor profile usage Off/On the first 6 times it is ran, after that profile usage remains on after running NoGamma.cmd. Gamma.exe always leaves monitor profile usage off. So far GammaTest2.exe worked best as far as the monitor profile is concerned.
  12. I will install beta #3 as soon as I see the download link and run it through its' paces.
  13. I appreciate the hard work you do and rapid attention to this problem. Both GammaTest.exe & Gamma.exe still cause the profile to be unloaded. I ran GammaTest2.exe numerous times in succession and it would not cause the profile to unload, however it had 2 other things to note. 1. It consistently has patterned "garbage" displayed in the black band below the image. This "garbage" is displayed while the image is fading in and disappears as soon as the image has finished fading in. 2. One time GammaTest2.exe would not quit when I (repeatidly) pressed the ESC key. It would also not let the Task Manager display properly to shut the program down. The first screen with the "Lock Computer", "Log Off", "Shut Down", "Change Password", "Task Manager" and "Cancel" would display properly. If I pressed the "Task Manager" button, the Task Manager window would display very briefly and then the GammaTest2.exe display would come back on. I was able to shut the system down after my second attempt with the "Shut Down" button. This problem also occured with another program created with PTE 5.
  14. Your program does affect the profile. Other DirectX applications I have do not cause the same problem. I have done some more testing. The profile does not seen to be permantly unloaded from the system and I can restore it without reloading it through MonacoGamma. I can restore the colors by running the "Funkitron" Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament game, which I believe also used DirectX. The game by itself does not affect a correct monitor display. I can also affect the behaviour through the ATI Catalyst Control Center. If the "3D Refresh Rate Override" is set to "Disabled" then the profile is affected after a PTE 5 program is run the first time. If the "3D Refresh Rate Override" is set to "Same as desktop" or my LCD monitor refresh rate of "60 Hz" then the first time a PTE 5 program is run and exited the colors are correct, and consistently after the second time a PTE 5 program is run and exited the colors are incorrect. If the colors have been made incorrect by a PTE 5 program I can restore then by changing the "3D Refresh Rate Override" from "Same as desktop" to "60 Hz" or "60 Hz" to "Same as desktop", whichever is applicable.
  15. My monitor is profiled with MonacoEZcolor and the profile is loaded with MonacoGamma. Projects previewed from within PTE 5 Beta 2 (I didn't test Beta 1) and shows created with PTE 5 Beta 2 cause the monitor profile to unload and colors to be displayed incorrectly. This problem did not occur with previous versions of PTE. I this is not corrected then I will have to stick with PTE 4.48 or move on to a different slide show program. I am running: Windows 2000 ASUS P4S533 motherboard 1.5 GB RAM ATI All In Wonder Radeon 8500DV video card
