Lin & Ron, Thanks for that info, I'm following it up. John

Well, you guys who already have sites have made me envious. I'd like to have my own website, but, do not have a clue where to start. I don't want to do anything wildly complicated, just a post some photographs for friends and family and be able to share some of my V. 5 work with you folk, who have been so inspiratioal in sharing your's Can anyone you tell me: a) Where I can get a tutorial? What the start up and running costs might be? John

Igor, please let me know if it has arrived. The 1st time I sent it I got a mail delivery failure notice

Igor, its on it's way

I’ve made a slideshow in V.5. It comprises some 450 slides, about 420 1024X768px files displayed as conventional (not animated) slides. The remaining 20 or so are animated. The foundation image being either 2000X1500 or 3000X2200px – (depending on the degree of P & Z) Until yesterday, that is before the last 50 slides were added, “Preview” and “Preview from current slide” worked normally. Now they don’t. On a couple of occasions in the past, even with comparatively few slides, “Preview” has failed to work. Shutting PTE down and restarting restore, would then, the function. I have made an .exe file. It works fine, excepting that the Escape key doesn’t do its thing. The project file is 528Kb The .exe is 530Mb I intend (hope!) to rework this project when V.5 has additional transition effects. My questions are: a) Is there a maximum V.5 project size? If there is, have I exceeded it? c) If I want to split the project into 2 parts, can it be done without losing the existing relative transition points on the Timeline of the Keypoints controlling the slides that have been animated? John

Thanks for that, by suggesting that I update the existing drivers, do you mean my existing card is otherwise adequate? John Al, now that I've discovered the wonders of Google Earth, I'll send you a marked up screen print in the moring. Regards John

Thedom, sorry to appear thick! but, I don't know what that means. John

Thanks for that Bill. I've tried. Bill is on holiday and the upload link is temporarilly closed. Guess it will have to wait awhile! John

Al, I've tried several times to send the finished version. Using either Dropit or Yousendit I get the same result. After about 2% of the download I get a message "The page you are trying to view is unobtainable" The same screen you get when you try to reach a site that is shut down. It could be I'm doing something stupid! Any ideas? John

Thanks for that Lin. However, after going up several dead ends I have put together a (sort of ) slide show that has achieved what I was looking to accomplish. It will be posted on Alrobins site in the near future. I'll give more details about it then. For now, I'll just say that I learned a lot and am so impressed with and grateful for the generous and unstinting help so many forum members gave. John

Our Our village, Cheddleton, is so small (but, it boasts 3 pubs) that it probably is not listed. Look, then, for Leek (not the vegetable!) in North Staffordshire. Cheddleton is about 3 miles south on the A 520 road. You can even get cool beer in this day and age. John
