Many thanks Nobeefstu. I did as you said and am now registered.I have returned my security to default. Regards Farleyjim

I have just installed P to E 6.5 onto my new computer running Windows 7. When I tried to unzip my registration no from a previous e-mail( Ihave been using P to E for several years), Windows 7 blocks it saying that it is potentially unsafe. Not sure what to do next. I am on a limited trial period unless I can activate the program. Any ideas please. I have emailed support twice with no reply. Regards Farleyjim

Very interesting replies to my post, thank you. Where I was caught out was that this was the first time I had ever encountered this problem and what exacerbated the situation was that once Norton had told me that my new exe file was "suspicious", it also told me that the file was too large to quarantine and it promptly deleted it before I had chance to gather my wits. Fortunately all my previous shows were backed up on an external disk, but my latest, (which was a memorable trip to South Africa!) had been destroyed. This meant starting all over and making a new show. We sometimes learn the hard way!!! I had previously used earlier versions of P2E without any trouble, but my problem arose when, coincidentally, I installed Norton 2010 and P2E 6 within a day of each other. Hence I wasn't sure which was the culprit! I have since run my slide shows successfully making sure that I was off line. I have yet to try excluding my P2E folder from being scanned. It would be interesting to hear from Norton but I won't hold my breath!

Thank you All for the replies. I'm glad it's not just me. I had in fact scanned all the relevant files and folders and was told that everything was safe! C'est la vie.

I have recently downloade P2E version 6 having been delighted with the software so far and have made many slide shows. I have also just renewed my Norton Internet Security to 2010. Imagine my dismay when I just tried to open my lataset slide show using P2E 6 to find that Norton Sonar Protection not only blocked it but could not quarantine it because it was too large and I therefore lost a slide show which had taken me hours to compose. I tird to show another of my shows and the same thing happened. The only way I am able to present my slide shows is to turn off the Sonar protection which means I have to disconnect from the internet. I have uninstalled P2E but I now have the same problem using version 5. If I've imported something nasty when I downloaded version 6 I am surprised because I have never been on line without Norton Protectio. Does any body have any suggestions, please?

I would like to make my future projected slide presentations so that I can project my photographs onto a large screen but have the associated text on my laptop so that I can use this for my narration. Is this possible with PTE as I believe it is in Powerpoint? It would be far more convenient if I could read my text directly from the laptop screen.
