Thanks Conflow Definitely not running 2 P2E's! Thanks for your help

Thanks Ken - I have downloaded it and will give it a try it looks very useful

First of all thanks to everyone for your considered and speedy responses. Just to complete the technical details Compaq Presario Desktop about 5 years old Windows XP Home edition Service pack 3 - Fully updated as of last week CPU Intel Pentium ®4 2.93GHz Disc Maxtor 6YO8O6O 72GB (50GB Free) just defragged 1.99 GB Ram (doubled from original) Video Card Intel R 82915G/GV/910GL Express chipset Display 1280 x 1024 @ 92 dpi I agree completely with the analysis that the video card/computer is not up to the job The main clue is that even when it runs the 6.0 version it is a little juddery on the transitions Altering the resolution to 800 x 600 doesn't help at all It looks as though the new super V7.5 is a step too far for my poor old computer! Just to put the matter in context I normally only use this computer for admin work and internet use I use it for downloading entries of AV's or digital images from Club members entering Club competitions because I can scan the USB stick with my virus software before downloading All my normal AV and photography work is done on my Dell computer which doesn't go on the internet!! This works fine with V7.5 and I am enjoying the new version very much As this problem was new to me and to V7.5 I thought I would ask and inform you what had happened Thank you all again for your help and guidance

Many thanks for the responses - I am new here so I hope I can answer both queries on this reply I have tried both types of exe - The problem arose because I was downloading AV's from Club Members who are entering a Club competition and they failed to work Both Authors are using V7.5 I then tried one of mine produced on my photo computer with V7.5 and it failed to work I then tried an old one of mine produced on V 6.0 and it works properly but a little juddery I have tried the downloaded "Walking on La Palma" and it also gives just sound - no pictures If I "escape" out of the exe then I get the attached error message To davegee Computer is a Compaq Presario Desktop running Windows XP Home Service pack 3 plus all updates including .Net Framework Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 900 Please let me know if you need any further details

I am having problems with exes produced on version 7.5 which won't run on my Compaq computer running XP The exe takes a long time to load and then only gives the sound. There are no pictures at all just a black screen Exes produced on previous versions (7.0 and before) work perfectly I have tried to update the Intel video card driver but it appears to be up to date My Dell computer also running XP runs the exes perfectly for all versions Any ideas what could be wrong/different about the Compaq please?
