Nick, Sean, I just sent you reg. key. P.S. Again I would like to ask you excuse us for this problem!

Yes, registration server on RegNow website crashed. I just wrote them about it. I apologize for this unpleasant problem! We'll send keys manually today-tomorrow.

Beta 11 today or tomorrow.

This problem happens on ATI video cards with calibrated display. It's a bug in ATI drivers for Windows XP. Their drivers for Windows Vista already fixed this problem. I wrote to ATI and they promissed fix it Windows XP, too. The only current solution - disable "Hardware acceleration" option in Screen tab of Project options.

- Sounds comments in Customize synchronization window Scheduled for v5.1

I'll comment every topic (in field which located below title of a topic) with remarks: "Done: v5.10", "Scheduled for v5.10", "Declined", "Maybe in v5.20", etc. Thank you in advance! Your opinion is very important for us.

Dick, I just sent you email on your address which you used for registration on the forum.

Hello, You mistakenly ordered PicturesToExe instead of "Upgrade to Deluxe". Let me know your order ID, I'll refund this order. I just sent you reg. key for VideoBuilder to ...@btinternet.com Please order again for "Upgrade to Deluxe".

Sean, We've refunded your mistaken order. I just sent you VideoBuilder registration key Please place your order for "Upgrade to Deluxe". p.s. we correct registration URL in next beta 11 to fix such problem in future.

I remember about this feature. Hope it will be added in nearest versions.

Thanks! We've fixed it in future beta 11.

It's really small bug. Thanks. We'll fit it in beta 11.

In beta 11 we corrected this registration URL and page will be opened already with choosed "Upgrade to Deluxe".

Mary, Excuse me, I forgot to send a free key to you. I already sent 26 keys to beta-testers. I just refunded your order. And sent free reg. key for VideoBuilder. Thank you. Howard, I just sent again your registration key for VideoBuilder. Raymond, I just refunded your mistaken order for PicturesToExe. Please order again "Upgrade to Deluxe". I already sent you reg. key for VideoBuilder. p.s. the problem with loading of reg. key happens because some antiviruses embed reg.txt file of a key to body of letter and mistakenly remove last symbol of a key (double quote). I promiss that we will solve this problem and will make registration process more simple and without troubles.

Jeff, It will possible in beta 10 or beta 11. Excuse us, that we missed this moment. Lin, We'll correct slide numeration from 1 for "Got to slide ..." function (instead of 0 in beta 10) v5.00 is very complex product. I work every day with my large todo list and add/remove groups of ten of records: check up feature, fix bug, add new feature, write email, think how improve some feature, etc. Sometimes I can miss some moment, sorry. Because of this I so appreciate help of members of this forum.

Dear Alain, I very appreciate your help and work to make PicturesToExe better! I'll try to reproduce these problems after 3 day's holidays (in my country).

Beta version of PicturesToExe doesn't register .pte extension for PicturesToExe. You can register .pte extension manually. Using Window Explore, right click on .pte file, Open As/Open with help and choose PTE.

Thank you, I added your suggestion to TODO list. I hope it will be possible, or maybe not, because you see that we wrote own file tree to speed up work of this control.

After reading this topic we can suggest two features which can be implemented in the nearest beta of v5.00 1) "Stop at the end of a slide" option in slide properties window. In this case you can easily realize menu or waiting until user press Next slide key or button. This option will work only when "Synchronize slides and music" option disabled. 2) "Repeat slide" option in slide properties window. As above option, it is same thing, but animation of slide will repeat from beginning of a slide. It maybe useful for organizing animated menu (e.g. slide 1) and main slides of a slide show (e.g. 2nd and next slides).

Dave, I just sent again your VideoBuilder registration key. p.s. in the next beta 11 we'll improve loader of registration key.

John, In such cases (non-linear Panning) please use only Bicubic (not Bicubic Sharper) resizing and don't apply Unsharp mask. Maybe it's necessary even apply slight Blur filter.

Since v5.00 and new registration keys we discard this limitation. New Standard and Deluxe licenses for v5.00 can be used for any purpose for one person or one PC.

Since v5.00 Beta 9 we use DirectSound technology instead of WaveOut earlier in music player. Probably it works more reliable in some situations.
