Frank you will be better off when starting to put a show together, to copy and paste all material -- picts, icons muscic etc to a new appropritely named folder -- this will make your job much easier. ken

Taking Guido's thought's on links a bit further, let's use an example. see http://www.romatec.com/ and enter now if you click watertreatment -- the link takes you to the manufacturers that Romatec represents, clicking on one of the links takes you to that companies site. so if a useful links section was developed it could have several sections -- graphics, sound, hardware etc there have many names of products thrown up in various threads that could be added. the only problem is if somebody starts a thread like the one i started re members sites -- a member should be able to go to my original and enter a site url -- as it is now i am the only one that can edit the first entry sheet, thus the thread gets very large and out of hand. ken

Agree with Ron i wanted to see how the vote was going and viewd first before voting -- had a look got my thanks for voting tried to vote --sorry you already voted and if remember the last time we ran a poll it did the same thing -- ken

what is the difference between sound and synchr????? we need a general as dump area and if somebody posts a sound problem in general area tell him to post it in the proper area and dont give him any help till they do ken

Invision already has the smarts it just has to be configured to suit our needs see http://help.lockergnome.com/index.php? ken

Igor, are we going to have 4 categories plus the pinned category as we have now for the latest version beta? and are you going to incorporate the old database archives into the present forum? Pinned: PicturesToExe v4.00 beta #4 --------------------------- 1.sound 2.graphics 3.general problems/comments/social 4.Hints for and Questions by Beginners (includes how to get your reg key). this section could also include a pinned area show the history, text, faq which Igor would have to update as versions are changed ken

Guido i have several ver's installed as well, this morning i unpacked beta 4 and made a quick show with the default black background it ran with the black background and i did not uninstall anything so the mystery is still there ken

using a quote from the old tv show "THE A TEAM" "I love it when a plan comes together" or words to that effect ken

Igor, thks ken

could i so bold to ask where has the thread for beta gone to -- never never land -- i cant seem to find it ken

as had been said many times it has been beat to death the next thing some author would have forgot they enabled your feature -- lost all their originals and would want to retrieve their picts from the exe using screen shots -- now the author is sol ken

so then i guess people better not bet the house on things working right -- like anything else the world is full of surprises [] ken

download a fresh zip and put it in a separate folder -- the key code is in the registry -- currently i am running beta 4 but yeterday i fired up 3.65 to start putting a little joke show with no probs -- then closed it and reopened with the beta ken

I thought a couple years back there were a pile of probs with NT and Casey or one of the OS gurus brought it to light - some quirk -- people could run their stuff real good but it wouldn't run right on their work NT systems - was pre xp release era -- oh for the archives IGOR ken

Guido, it must be midafternoom in Italy --05:40 EST here -- did you find why the background was changing ken

Whhy dont you put it in a zip complete with a text file describing the show,music etc and upload one of these problem shows to Bills site and see if some of us xp users can play it see http://beechbrook.com/upload/ http://beechbrook.com/pte/index.asp ken

Guido, i suppose you have but have to ask did you recheck the colour settings for backgrounds gradients and custom -are they all there etc - and did you try restting to a different b/g colour then going back to your "black is beautiful" b/g -- things might just need a nudge ken

Larry, please provide name of show -- i thought i had them all and dont remember any special effects -- we had a little scare last novemeber were norton and another co's anti virus software siad a couple shows were infected -- at that time myself and others downloaded all the shows and verified they were aok ken

Was it a p2e show with the fancy transitions?? ken

This is an fyi re icons. i whipped up a little comedy show with cartoons this morn for my email friends -- it was < 1/2 meg. i saved and created it with no music or icons. -- then i thought i would enhance it a bit -- i got a little midi out of my files and an icon from my collection -- did a save as under a different name, and then tried a create as under the new name -- got an error message that i couldnt do that or words to that effect -- i checked the folder and the new files were there with the new name -- the new file would run and the music would play -- but the icon i had installed in the program was not showing on the exe -- scratched head a bit -- checked properties of the icon -it was READ ONLY -- unchecked the box and checked the archive box -- did a save as and create as and no error messages now -- and icon is on the exe btw the show was called Smile --TGIF ken
