Useful tip for the Objects and animation editor: "Undo All Changes" / "Redo All Changed" commands in the popup menu of Tools button. "Undo All Changes" reverts all changes which you did in current session of the Objects and animation editor.

Thanks, Dave! Nice work.

Yes, technically it's possible to adjust. Browse the folder: C:\Users\YourProfileName\AppData\Local\PicturesToExe\Versions\9.0\ YourProfileName is a name of your profile in Windows. in this folder open apr.ini file in Notepad app, find RecentLst_Limit and set a new value. For example, 16. By default it's set to 10: RecentLst_Limit=10

Done. Use your new user name to login on the forum: Tomcatred55

Gary, Do you see embedded YouTube video clips on that page? I don't see them on your screenshots. It seems that your browser has stopped to show embedded videos.

Gary, Send me a sample link to a thread. Also what is your scale in the browser and in Windows?

Gary, we didn’t update forum software about a month. Try to press Ctrl + F5 to update the page, or clear browser cache.

Does this problem occur with a certain project, or with other projects too?

Hi, Please check that you use the latest official version of PicturesToExe.

Hi, Thanks, I confirm the problem with this MP3 file in video output. We'll try to fix it after holidays. As a temporary solution convert this MP3 file to WAV file before add to PicturesToExe. Or just re-convert to MP3, it should help.

Example:

Slideshowclub allows to embedd YouTube or Vimeo video clips. It would be great if all contributors could add a video in addition to EXE files.

Andrew, It appears to be a complex problem and fix may take long time. Sorry.

Andrew, Yes, Windows XP uses old screen mode. PicturesToExe works much better with Windows Vista/7/8/10. Did you try "Run Application and Exit" command? It should help, because only one EXE show will work at any moment of time. Windows XP is not supported officially by PTE 9. It still works, but we cannot guarantee that everything is tested well. PTE 10 will NOT work and run on Windows XP at all.

Andrew, I see this problem, thanks. We'll check the code of PTE.

I'm glad! Honestly, only the diagnostic information helped found a reason of that problem. I couldn't imagine that Windows 7 still allows set 16 bit limited colors.

Thanks, Probably I found a reason of this problem. Check your Display settings in Windows 7. Currently it's set to 16 bit color mode. It should be switched to 32 bit color. More details how to do it: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-1865158/change-color-bits-windows.html I think that 16 bit color mode was set by a mistake, because 32-bit color mode is required by all modern apps to correctly show true colors (many years). P.S. If a computer works well for its tasks, it's no matter how old it is.

Hi, I checked your images and project. Everything is OK. Does this problem occur with images from another source? For example, photos downloaded from Internet. What video card installed in your computer? Press Win + R hotkey and type "dxdiag", press Enter key. Click Save or Export button and please send me exported text file.

Season greetings from WnSoft team. Created in PTE:

NVIDIA is currently working on another problem with DirectX 9 on dual mobile graphics in laptops. So it really can be related with NVIDIA drivers. You can try to force the update to Windows 10 v1809 right now: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 If you already updated all drivers it can be the only one solution for now.

Just upload your original image to https://wetransfer.com/ and send me a download link.

Hi Marco, I don't remember any reports about this error many years. PicturesToExe 9 requires DirectX 9 and DirectX 9 is a basic component of any version of Windows last 12 years. For some reason DirectX 9 configuration on your computer were corrupt. I recommend to update Windows 10 to the latest version (v1809, October 2018 Update) which Microsoft is distributing now. It will fix DirectX configuration.

Hi, Please upload one original image (in a ZIP archive) which cause this problem in PicturesToExe. I'll check it.

Jill, Glad that it helped. This problem might happen because the project initially was created in a Beta version. PTE 9 includes many changes in the format of .pte project file. Any project created in Beta versions of any previous versions, better to Re-Save in PTE 8 and then open in PTE 9. You can check .pte file in Notepad. Line No. 3 shows PTE version: PteVersion= ...

Jill, Try to open this project in PTE 8 and save it. And then open in PTE 9.
