Wow! Thanks for all the replies. I purchased Pictures to Exe in June, I think. I'm still waiting for a response about my registration code so I can't download a new version without paying again - which I don't want to do until I'm sure I can get this to work how I want I will try all your suggestions - reducing the size of the files, converting to MP3 and let you know how it goes. Thanks so much for all your help! Peggy
