MaryFurness Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I have a brand new I7 fast computer with an NVideo GeForce 8400GS graphics card. I am running Windows 7.My problem is that PTE 6.5.3 comes up beautifully. I do a couple of actions then it slows, taking over a second to move a picture position then it freezes. Task manager indicates that it is still running.The only way I can get it to work is to turn windows Aero display to Windows Basic display.Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?

Igor Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Mary,Please let me know:1) Is it possible to run created executable files of slideshows?2) Do you know a number of cores in the Intel CPU - 2 or 4?I recommend try install the latest drivers for your video card from NVIDIA website.

Conflow Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Igor,Just a quick reply ~ the i7 is 4-Core and for some reason "Aero" simply 'gags' on many Graphic-Programs ~ I dont know why !!Brian (Conflow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated my driver and it did not provide the solution, so I too have resorted to using the Windows Basic display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Ray,Mary,Please reply in that topic on my questions:http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12549Thanks!Brian,Wikipedia says it's can has 2 to 6 cores:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_i7This problem is a mystery for me! I don't understand why this freezing happens only in Windows 7 (not in Vista) and only with Aero Glass interface. We've checked many times our code. If we make obvious mistakes DirectX informs us in debug mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryFurness Posted November 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hi igor, Sorry for delayed reply.1 Yes I can run Executable files of slideshows2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryFurness Posted November 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I am not good at this1 Yes I can run slideshows2 It is 4 core.I went to the PTE exe file and it suggested I set compatibility to XO or Vista.. I did this (to Vista). It then checked compatibility again and the words "Not compatible" came up.It still froze so i set the dispalay to Windows Basic and it workks.I will now try your solution - ie I will update to latest edition and let you know if it works with Aero.Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
