Thanks Jim but no joy whatsoever. I have even been through the view options and found the 'display last project command'. This is on and yet it displays nothing. Whatever I do the slide list panel remains pictureless. When I click on the two pages icon all I get is a folder Icon, no images at all. By clicking on this I can drill down to the folder containing the images I want via explorer but these will not show or list in the panel. Is there any other way I can load them into it? Yours exasperated Justin.

Went to start a new project and was unable to load new slide list. There were a number of folders in the panel but when I tried to open via My Docs - My Pics - subject folder via the explore command all that happened was a window opened with the pictures but not in the panel. The panel still remained showing several folders but no pictures and I am unable to access them through PTE1 I am going not so gently mad here! Justin. PS. thanks for the link on the other problem Contax.

I am new to this programme and so it is probably me not doing something right. What I am trying to do is to create a presentation on my PC, copy to CD and then run it on a laptop to power a digital projector. I cannot get the programme to save the JPEGs as compressed files and so I get a very uneven presentation on the laptop as it keeps pausing to load. The programme takes only the whole JPEG across with it. Some notes. I shoot to MF and scan to a 28mb tiff before converting to max quality JPEGs, thus they are around 10-12mb. This is because they are kept for sale as stock photos. Do I really need to go through the process of compressing my JPEGs manually before using them in PTE? This will leave me with even more images clogging up my hard drives. Any help appreciated. Justin.
