Thanks Dave, you have pointed me in the right direction. I was talking about the colour scheme for PTE AV Studio, adjusted under Settings>Preferences>Light or Dark. Mental block yesterday but your advice solved the issue in seconds. Regards Leo

In PTE Studio 10 is it possible to change the background colour from black to white?

Garry, I started using Malwarebytes as a trail. When the trial period was over, 30 days I think, it stopped working so I purchased the version I now use. I think it cost about £24. Leo

The problem was caused by an upgrade of version on Malwarebytes. This change caused Malwarebytes to see Pic2Exe as a potential threat or "false positive". There really was no threat at all. When advised, by Igor, Malwarebytes corrected their problem with a subsequent upgrade........the issue then vanished and everything is now working fine.

Hello Morasoft, I have done the same and mine is working fine also. Thanks Leo

Ivor, Many thanks for your help. I will do just that. Regards Leo

It's correct what is said "you learn something new every day"........I had no idea there was a specific forum for Pix2Exe. Many thanks for your help. Best wishes Leo

Why has this been moved and where has it been moved to? I have heard nothing. Leo

I'm not 100% certain what I am doing here. I am confused......where has it been moved to? Thanks Leo

Hello, I'm using Pic2Exe 7-5-10 and have been doing so successfully since it was released. In fact it was working fine yesterday. I also use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware programme. Both have been working fine together for months. Today when I clicked on the Preview button in Pic2Exe the Malware programme cut in and said it had prevented a Trojan and had vaulted it. When I clicked again on Preview the RHS pane on the main PIc2Exe page flashed on and off and did not start the show. I switched off & rebooted. Cleared the Virus Vault, reinstalled Pic2Exe. Again I got the Malware warning and Preview did not run the show. When I right click on a slide and try to play from the slide the same thing happens....a quick flash of the preview pane then nothing. I can still publish a show. Can anyone help please. Thanks Leo

I'm using Pic2Exe 7.5.7 and Windows 8 on a laptop. In the main window when I press the F4 key I would expect to get the "Light Box View" of all the slides in the show. This happens on my desktop with 7.5.7 and Windows 7. However on my laptop with Windows 8 I get a pop up with Second Screen - Project to a connected screen option list. I cannot find the Light Box anywhere. Can you help please. Thanks Leo

Thanks Ken, Leo

Dave, I downloaded "Classic Shell" software to restore my Windows desktop and Start Menu to something like normal. In the process, and I know not how it occurred, my appearance theme changed to High Contrast#1. This introduced the black background onto MS Word etc. Emails and the web pages ( I think it did it to web pages) and of course Pic2Exe. Right clicking on the windows desktop, then Personalize and setting appearance to Windows Classic theme restored things to normal. Thanks for your help Leo

DG Problem solved. The properties of the screen were introducing the colour change. I changed them back to normal and everything is now OK. Windows 8 is reprieved......for now! Thanks Leo

Dedicated as far as I know.

Hello DG, Thanks for responding. The laptop is a brand new HP. Everything works fine on my desktop. Windows 8 appears to be the culprit. Leo

The plot thickens! Pic2Exe is installed and I am registered (with help from Igor). I declared the problem solved because the trial message had been removed and everything appeared to work. The fact that the background to the Pic2Exe "home page" was BLACK did not seem a problem. However when I try to build a project I find that the buttons such as Project Options, Customize Slide, Objects and Animation are a solid black and their titles cannot be seen. In Project Options the list of Main, Audio etc. down the LHS shows yellow titles on a grey background and is very difficult to read. That said if I remember what the various buttons are Pic2Exe appears to work. Can you hello please. Thanks Leo

Brian, I did read it but if I did re submit it was an error. Although I don't think I did. Leo

Thanks for responding. I was using my latest key, over the years I've bought Pic2Exe 3 times....upgraded, lost key etc. I've been using Pic2Exe since version 4 for simple click of the mouse presentations or fairly basic slide shows to music. I've never had a problem loading it, over the years, on any computer using 4 different versions of Windows operating system....until Windows 8. No matter whatever I try I cannot get it to work. Thanks Leo

Hello Igor, The only virus guard I'm using is Windows Defender. I've had a reply last night from Pic2Exe support who gave me a new key and links and told me what to do. Unfortunately the problem changed. After following instructions to the letter,4 times in succession, at the end of installation I get a Set Up failure window telling me it has failed. I initially ignored it tried to enter the new , very long key, I was told told the key was no good. I sent a rely to Pic2Exe support explaining all this. I'm waiting patiently for a reply. Thanks Leo

Thanks DG, I've done that on your advice. Leo

I'm trying to install PIc2Exe on my new laptop that uses Windows 8. Pic2 Exe will install and when I enter my Reg code it accepts it.....however when I open Pic2Exe it asks me for the code again and again and again. I does not retain the Reg code. Can anyone help please? Thanks Leo

Thanks DG......It's now working fine. Leo
