I have previously constructed a menu page and buttons using v 4,9. I have tried to do it in v7 and am struggling. I have searched the comments made previously on this subject and have put my EXE files into the same folder as the menu file but I cannot get the buttons to have anything visible on them other than the word button even though I have typed the correct title into the text panel (common tab of Objects and Animation). What am I doing wrong?

I am about to change my lap top as I find that sequences with much movement require faster processing chips. My present lap top has a Intel i3 chip and I see that the latest is i7. Does anybody have a view on this subject.

Thanks Peter. It has also occurred to me that I can copy the slide at the end then past it where I want it then delete the one at the end. There is always a way!!!

P I make my selections from the Full screen view of file list F3 not F4 as that way I can see all the non used slides. But when I select from there the selected slide is added to the end of the sequence. I know I can left click and drag to position but if the sequence is a long one that's a bit of a bore. I was hoping there was a way to drop it in position from F3 Mike

Hi Is there any way I can load images from the view file panel of images and prevent them from adding to the end of a sequence? What I want to achieve is to add a single slide in the middle of a sequence the slide being selected from the view facility and being placed exactly where I wish it to go.

Thanks to all. I should really have thought of that ah well! into 2012.

Hi Since loading the latest version of PTE I find that when running my EXE file I get a progress bar showing at the bottom of the screen. This I find annoying. Any idea how to remove it. Can I wish all Forum members a very Happy New Year. Mike Reed

Thanks Peter You understood my problem. Maybe we can persuade Igor to give us the opportunity to set the position on the time line then go to full slide view select a slide and drop it into position. Thanks

When I add slides from the full screen view of the file list the slides are always added at the end of the time line. Is there anyway to drop the individual slides into the time line where I want them to go?

My mistake I should have said MP3

Hi All I am running versio 6.5 on Windows XP with Video Builder. Whilst my EXE file runs perfectly my transfer to Video has dropped the sound file. I have recorded the sound in both WAV and MPEG3 formats but this makes no difference. Am I doing something stupid? Mike Reed

That would be brilliant if you could do it. I would have no idea where to start especially in 3D. Mike

Hi to the PTE World Has anybody perfected a spinning roulette wheel and if so can you post a download. Many thanks.

Thanks Brian Yes that worked at least for 99% All sounds are suppressed with the exception of the volume control which still does a little ping when changed but that is of no concern as I use an independent control whilst giving my shows. Mike

Hi Ken Turning down the volumn will not help. It is the annoyiong bong I get whenever there is activity on my email account and the start up and closedown jingle that I want to stop. The rest of the time I need the volumn up for my shows. I had it on my old XP lap top but cannot remember how I got there. I would also like to stop the annoying pop ups "There are unused icon' etc that can ruin a show. Mike

Sorry guys should have said. I am using XP pro on a lap top. By annoying jingles I mean the start up and close down jingle and also the pop and bong noises one gets when pop up boxes appear telling you that you have unused icons etc. Mike

Hi Have just bought a new lap top and cannot remember how to stop all the annoying jingles and bongs that you get. Can anybody assist. Mike Reed

Thanks Dave. It is simple when you know how. Why did I not think of that?? Mike

Hi All I have just bought a new lap top and really would prefer that it goes nowhere near the internet. Is there any way to copy PTE from my old hard drive to the new one. Advice please. Mike Reed

Thanks that is most helpful. Mike

Thanks Peter Our camera club had a bad experience with an Acer (Ferrari) so I must admit I am not too keen to go with that make. Mike

Hi All Having just had my HP lap top die on me (purchased in 2006) what would anybody like to recommend as a suitable replacement for showing PTE AV's. Ideas from the UK would be best as I guess not all World Wide models are available here in the uk Price in the £ 500/600 bracket. My existing projector only has 15 pin D type imput Mike

Many thanks to all for your replies. It seems that it was finger trouble on my part for the next time I tried it it worked ok. MIke Reed

Hi all I have version 6.5 de-lux and paid for video builder however when I tried to create a dvd I got the not supported notice. On going to wnsoft website I cannot find any mention of a download for Video builder. Does anybody have a clue as to why I cannot find it? Mike Reed
