Thanks, igor. v4.46 has solved my problem. PTE is a great software!! Shik Lee

I installed the v4.46, now I hear music when I click the Preview button. I want to thank you for solving this problem which I brought up in another post. I also want to let everyone in this forum know that Igor has spent many hours with me in solving this problem. The degree of commitment and hardwork in improving PTE and providing customer support is hard to find nowadays. Thanks, Igor. Shik Lee

Tried to open "445-Per aspera ad astra.exe." video played for about 1 sec (stars moving) with no sound, then stop and computer freezed up. Had to reboot. I tried to open the same file from you yesterday with the same result. Havd sent one of my mp3 files to your email address.

Downloaded "showlength.exe." It didn't play, and got a window showing get length and a play button. Pressed "Play" button, a window opened showing Drive C - looking for a mp3 file. Didn't see any "Length:0 ms" message. Downloaded "1.mp3." Music played.

Igor Bach.mp3 - music ok m27...jpg - ok m42...jpg - ok pte-prev-synced.exe - cannpt open file ptemusic.pte - error message, picture not found ptemusic1.exe - video, no sound ptemusic-synced.exe - computer freezed up Also, I used your mp3 file for a test show, and got the same results as described in my other post, #20 - no sound during preview but a mpg file was successfully created. My computer: PC, Pentium 4, Windows XP Home, SP2, Sound card Realtek AC97 Using version 4.45 now. Had more problems with 4.4 as described in my original post. Thanks Shik Lee

I am happy to let everyone, who have been providing helpful suggestions, know that I have successfully created a MPG file with your help. As suggested, I removed the pte software and reintalled the Version 4.45. I then converted all wma files to mp3 before adding to the project. Although there was still no sound during preview, I went ahead to creat the slide show file (MPG) with Ulead VideoStudio. With the MPG file I was able to burn a DVD disc of the show. For now I am satisfied that I have succeeded in creating the slide show dvd disc, I have two questions: 1). Why no sound during Preview? 2). With Ulead VideoStudio, I could only produce a MPG file. The "avi" file produced by UleadVS has only sound but no video - that may be a problem with the Ulead software and nothing to do with PTE. Thanks again to everyone. Shik Lee

Just want to thank everyone for the help received. I think I have sufficient info to solve my problem. I will be busy for the next two days and will not be working on this project. When I eventually have the program running the way it should, I will keep you updated. Shik Lee

I agree its very unusual. Although I prefer using PictureTo Exe, for this project which I need for tomorrow I have it done using another software. The sound turn out ok with exactly the same number of slides and music, but I will use it only as my Plan B. It shows that the fault is not my computer. It is possible that the Pte may have been corrupted. Between now and tomorrow I continue to work on the same project using Pte and would like to tell you and Ken what I have done this morning. As I indicated in my original post, I found out that the music duration is 00.00. I clicked the Timeline tab to open the "Customize Synchronization" window which indicates 'Please go to the Music tab in the Project Options and add sound file(s). At the bottom of the same window, it shows the number of slides of 113; transitions, 113, music duration,00.00; and position, 00.00.00. Having checked to confirm that the sound files have been added, my guess is that the Music duration of 00.00 is probably the problem. Within the Customize Synchronization window, I clicked "Timed Points" which shows 8 options to add and arrange time points and set time of points. When I clicked any one of them, nothing happened. I also tried the 'Import points from another Project' option....the end result: a window showing "no transitions in this project." The project I tried to import from is a succesful project. From what I have done so far, I suspect that the program may have been corrupted. If so, how do I reinstall the software? I purchased it online with no disc. Thank you and Ken for the help so far. Any more help can be offered is much appreciated. Shik Lee

Have just checked the Play Control. The Output is not muted. Also tried adjusting the slider from 1/2 way up to the top, but still getting no sound. Thanks. Shik Lee

Yes, it shows the 2 mp3 file titles which I selected in the window. Shik Lee

Thanks for the quick reply. I have replaced the wma music files to 3 mps files, and the "play background music" was checked in the original project. There is still no sound! Shik Lee

I have been using PictureToExe for about a year now, but only 3 times, with not much problems. Today I am trying to make a slide show and having problem getting sound when I preview the project after adding the sound files, in wma. I discovered the sound duration is 00.00 when I click the "show music duration." Is that the reason I don't get sound? If so how do I correct it. Or is there other things I did or I didn't do to cause this problem? Any help is much appreciated by this beginner. Thanks.
