Birding Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I am making a sequence for PAGB FIAP Biennial colour slidesThere are 303 images and this file size is 64MB. There is 35 minutes of music ( MP3) and this file size is 31 MBI can preview about 180 images before the programme crashes. If I then re-start the preview just before the place it crashed it will run to the endIs this file too big for PTE.I am using PTE 4.30 with XP Home Edition with 512 MB RamMy computer has a 1.99 Ghz processor.I did try to ' create ' the sequence, which it appeared to do, but again would only run to about image 180Can someone please give me some advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LumenLux Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 And, birding, I would try just pulling out the slide or two at the point that seems to be the problem. If that is the problem, you can then remake the trouble slide. But more often than not, the problem is going to be in the music file rather than the photo file. So as Ken is suggesting, try other options there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Thanks for the advise, but unfortunately when I took out the music it crashed out even earlier. It can't be one rogue slide as it never crashes out on exactly the same slide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Hi Birding,What do you mean exactly by crashing? Does your computer freeze up? It is a rather long slideshow. I have made one with pictures of our holiday which has the same size. It runs perfectly, but whenever I run it I disable my screensaver and the energy saving of my monitor and hard disks. If I don't do this, one of them will take over at the time I set them. The first time this happened I didn't even realize what caused the interruption. So maybe this is the solution for you too?

Birding Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 HiNo the computer screen just goes black, it may well be the screen saver or powermanagement I will disable them and try againThanks all of you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Hi MarianneYou're a genius, that seems to be the problem. I have just run it though without the music and it ran to the end. The trouble is that with a sequence this long it all takes so much time. I am going out now so I don't have time to run it through again with the music.I will do that tomorrow and let you know. I am fairly sure it will be OK Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
