A friend called with an SD card with some 500 images from a holiday to be projected via my Windows Vista laptop. I tried to load them into PTE 6.5.2 using Cntrl + D without success. I then switched to PTE 6.0 and they loaded without hesitation. This morning I tried again using a similar no of pictures from the laptop hard drive with the same results. Deleting and reinstalling 6.5.3 improved matters but still slow compared to PTE 6.0 I have repeated the experiment on a desktop running Windows 7 home, 4Gb Ram, Intel i7 chip & Nvidea Geforce 9800 GT. Images were 463 2.3 Gb in total. PTE 6.0 8secs from pressing Cntrl + D to first image preview on screen, PTE 6.5.3 just over 30 secs to reach same stage. That time difference is unimportant but I am curious as to the time difference as it could be a problem with the laptop and club shows. Please can anyone give an explanation.
