well for one thing the this beta is different than 5.6 and no Igor did not omit "Is this something that Igor just did not attend to yet?" but, i have even made the mistake of opening with a new version,saving the pte with a new version and then trying to open the show with a 4~ version and getting the message "Cannot open this file. This file is damaged, or it was created with newer version of PTE (maybe v1.00 - 1.60)" and numerous other people have done the same thing as i said in my first post use the search of the forum ken

thks dom Gary write/save this step by step thread for future reference -- also "Ken...That's the problem. When I saved the slideshow in 5.7, I saved it over the file made with 5.6. So now 5.6 will not open the slideshow. I never saw any warning that 5.7 would corrupt the file so it would not work in earlier versions." always "save as" the pte with a different name messing withe the pte if you dont know what you are doing is like messing with computer registry when you do not save it with a date so you can reuse it if necessary ken

open the 5.6 program open the original pte with 5.6 - not the pte made with 5.7 this has been covered many times since ver 5 was issued -- use the search function of forum ken

to put it bluntly -- it aint apples and apples - it is apples and oranges the show is going to look better on your monitor because it is made differently than the tv unless you have the latest state of the art high defintion tv connected to your computer via hdmi, vga or svhs cabling and then it becomes a diffent situation -- on my setup, svhs connected to a ws hd tv, the monitor is still better but not by much - you have to look close and know what to look for to see the difference for more info on subject see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_Graphics_Adapter ken

thks Ian this should help Barry ken

Barry back in win 3.1 days i had a question for epson re my laser b/w printer -- the guy i was talking to wanted to know why i kept my printer on all the time -- it took +- 2 mins to warm up from a cold start - i told him i when i wanted to print i wanted it then so maybe you got the same guy as me ken

WIP = BETA 1 BETA 2 ETC ? THKS FOR ENLIGHTENING ME post the thread Slideshows created in PicturesToExe sections then posting it to mediafire when you have things sorted out delete it KEN

Andre describe what you mean by "WIP section " ken

I GUESS I maybe should remind people what "assume" means Eric -- there was no Igor's post about a final issue if you go and search the forum you will find entries by DaveG and myself re the issue i got first issue may 14 09 -- igor pulled it and i got 2nd may 21 09 and NO MENTION OF IT BEING FINAL http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index....ost&p=65399 ken

IF 5.6.4 IS FINAL IT SHOULD BE SO LABELLED IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO KEEP UP TO THE REVISIONS WHEN THEY ARE NOT ANNOUNCED PROPERLY WE SHOULD BE TOLD IT IS FINAL AND ANY FURTHER CHANGES SHOULD BE IN 5.7 BETA 1 KEN

no i mean 5.6 -- i do not recall see a final notice ken

When is the final version of 5.6 going to be released? ken

double click the thumbs to expand them and you will see the info ken

Hi Laszlo, pretty "heavy/deep" production - not much jerkiness on my system - just one really noticeable - the red cross flip in the arch ken
