Thanks Ron I will try that. In the mean time I reloaded Beta 6, took out the last slide which was a blank and it worked. I will go back to Beta 7 and try out your suggestion Beth

Hi My problem is a bit mundane amidst all this talk about burning DVD's etc. I have just finished my first sequence using PTE 5 . While I was working on Beta 6 version all was well. This morning I downloaded Beta 7 and at the end of the sequence the music starts again, plays about 3 bars from the start of the music , I get black boxes across the screen and then the music cuts out. I have deleted the music, added it again. I have selected "close show " on main project option tab and have only " play music " ticked on music project option I am on Windows XP Hoping someone can help

Hi Al Thanks again. I think my best option is to highlight to the end and move Regards Beth

Hi Al Yes I did know about highlighting slides and moving in a block, the trouble was I highlighted just a few, they overlapped and mixed up the order, also I found I had still got 1 slide highlighted when I was moving another block and this made matters worse. I realise now I have to go right to the end to highlight them all I don't know what you mean with Timeline/view/auto adding new tranistion point for new slides . I have this selected when you say you can switch between old and new ways, does that mean I should be able to shift all the images to the right and bring back by just adding new tranisition point Thanks for taking an interest in my problem Beth

Thanks Jim, but I didn't want to insert a new slide just move all the slides over - say 2 seconds to give the existing slide more space Beth

I am making a fairly long sequence about 10 minutes. I need to move all the images to the right to give more time for one image. I went into shift points and added time. It did add time but it moved the next image out of it's place in the line up. I know that I can highlight images and move as a block but this is quite difficult when you need more space early on in a sequence. I also " moved all points to the right ". It did this but is there an easiler way to get them back into position. I have used this function in the past and as I added " new transistion " it brought the timed points back, this does'nt happen now. I am on 4.43 and XP home Hope some one can help Beth

Thank you Al & Fred. I do have a Norton virus checker running in the background and also various other security systems such as Xoftspy, Error nuker and Free surfer. I am now on broadband - do these run in the background ? I am not running it from a CD I have 224 RAM which has always been enough in the past The file sizes are around 256 kb and there are 6 of them so it's not a big project. I have a laptop and I will try to make it on that and report back Thanks Beth

I am having a problem with screen shimmer between fades on shows that have been created some time ago and worked alright in the past. I am now trying to do a panorama using the ' push ' transition. No matter what length of time I give this - I have tried from 6 up to 30 seconds - the image appears to be scrolling from the top or moving in juddering steps even though I have selected right to left ( the image is actually moving from right to left albeit as described ) . I ran a show that I have created previously using this transition which worked perfectly well. I now find that this also appears to be scrolling and juddering. I am using Windows XP home edition and PTE 4.30 I would appreciate some help with this Thanks Beth

Hi All of you Thanks for your help. I don't quite know how I solved it, but I did and it is all working OK now Regards Beth

Hi Folks I have looked at slides and transitions - I have 80 slides and 79 tranisitons so that is OK. The music doesn't have a long silence at the end. Old sequences do finish - ie don't hang on the last slide. I don't quite understand what Alan said - I may have a conflict between Project Options and Slide Options. I can't see anywhere on the Slide options - I presume you mean " Effects " where it says " close " or " keep open " Regards Beth

Hi I am having problems with a show stopping on the last slide which is a blank despite me having ticked " close show after last slide". I have updated to 4.30 and it only applies to shows I have made since this. I have also updated to XP Home Edition but the above problem started before I did this upgrade Beth

Thanks Brian Looks like we will have to bite the bullet and pay out for a better one Beth

We are going to buy a new laptop to project our work. Can someone help. Does the quality of the projected show depend on the quality of the graphic card of the laptop or the quality of the graphic card of the PC it was made on. As we are only going to use the laptop to project our shows is it worth having a high spec machine Thanks Beth

Thank you both Jim and Ken. We have sorted our problem thanks to you. Just for the record we have 256 RAM and the images are less then 200k I was rather concerned about going into the ini file, but I am as pleased as punch when I did and it worked
