I was thinking of that history when I mentioned "Mistaken Identity" I use AVG anti virus, just updated today.. I have one PC using another virus program, I'm just off to run it to see if it indentifies a problem

My virus program is detecting a virus in all recent P2E presentations I've made (the .exe files). The virus name is Trojan Horse PSW.Banker.HMQ. It doesn't show in any other program - anyone know anything about this? Is P2E embedding the virus - or is it a case of mistaken identity?

Two issues - A show which worked perfectly when produced in beta #1 has a distracting feature in the transitions with # 2. The photos are of a young girl with "frizzy" hair, the same photo transitions from colour to toned to black & white. The hair seems to transition faster than the rest of the slide, hard to describe but very distracting. This didn't happen with beta #1, nothing else has changed as far as I know. Second, neither version works with Sonic MyDVD. I tried this because I already own it, and I saw another user was successful. When I try to add the .avi, P2E crashes then Sonic. This is on Win XP. Any help greatly appreciated! EDIT: the frizzy hair problem is resolved, it was linked to use of the sharpness filter when creating the AVI. Sonic worked one time (and completed the task a lot faster than Ulead), but the first slide was very posterized. It's back to crashing both programs again.

I would have thought that making the original images the same size as the TV format (720 x 576 for PAL, 720 x 480 for NTSC) wold give the sharpest output as there would be no resizing going on. Are you saying that P2E will resize anyway, first up to 1024 x 768, then to a screen fit?

Is there a program or utility that can record a P2E show while it's running and convert to DVD format? Just wondered if this might allow all the advantages of P2E but with the final output being on DVD. OK cancel that Q - I just saw that an AVI output feature is planned. Doh!!

Thanks for the prompt and clear response, Ian. Looks like I can get the cheapest Palm then

Can Pocket PC's run a p2e .exe file? I know the OS is Windows based, but I'm not clear on whether a p2e show (with suitably sized images) will run on, say, an iPaq or Dell Axim. A search of the forum didn't turn up any previous threads, to my surprise.
