nickylomas Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hi!OK I'm new to the game, but I can't seem to find any help facility anywhere. I have the HELP drop down menu but it has no contents whatsoever. Did I do something wrong when I downloaded my new (registered) copy yesterday? Or am I missing a trick here? I really want to know things like whether I can run a preview of my slideshow from part-way through, rather than always having to start at the beginning and things like that....Also, I really need to be able to save my slideshow onto a CD which autoruns in my DVD player - I understand that a release will come out enabling us to do that, but I don't know when that will be... Are there any ways that I can do this in the meantime...?Hopeful of a response. Nicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davegee Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hi Nicky,I have just checked my Help file and the USER MANUAL is not there, probably because it is a BETA version. However there is a guide to creating DVDs.Look in the forum for some of the independent tutorials and download those.You could also download there most up-to-date Version 4 in which there will be a User manual albeit that the new features in Version5#6 will not be there. Your version 5 key will also work with version 4.dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 sorry Dave but my ver 5 beta 6 help file works because many moons ago Igor straightened me out re windows protocolit must not be in a different folderthe previous location that i used as an example is for version 3.65i have 13 other versions installed on a different drive,all in their own folder so if somebody asks i can go back to the various versions and try to help them out.fFor version 5 Igor has had to change how things are installed due to the new protocol dictated by MS VISTAken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickylomas Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hi fellasThanks for that. Decided to download again into new file and, hey presto, it worked! I now have HELP! Have yet to fathom how to play slideshows on my DVD player - first attempt didn't work... Am I right in thinking that you can load to CD and play in a DVD player or do I have to download the extra programme and burn to DVD. Sorry but being a bit dim here!Also, still haven't got to the bottom of whether I can start previewing further into my slideshow or if I always have to preview from the start every time.... Any thoughts on this guys?ThanksNicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but being a bit dim here!Hi Nicky,Wnsoft plan to present PicturesToExe Deluxe soon.Deluxe edition, besides PicturesToExe, will include module for creating and burning of DVD-Video discs. Including customizable menu and templates. HD-DVD/Blue-Ray support will be added in the future.To know more, go read this thread.For instance, you have to use an extra programme to burn the DVD.Also, still haven't got to the bottom of whether I can start previewing further into my slideshow or if I always have to preview from the start every time.... Any thoughts on this guys?No problem, you can preview further into your slideshow and don't have to preview it from start every time.In PTE, intead of clicking the "Preview" button, select a slide in the slide list and click on the icon (kind "slice of toast"), just on right of the preview button. The show will be previewed from the selected slide.This option is avalaible in the Objects and Animation Window too.To learn more about PTE v5, I really recommend that you download one of the tutorials avalaible onthis page. Have fun with PTE ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
