Hi Thanks to everyone who has helped. I have followed your instuctions and in the process discovered that the error was mine. I was opening VideoBuilder with my second monitor switched off as I expected the window to appear in front of PicturesToExe. On my last try I had my second monitor switched on and of course the window appeared. I have now burned my first P2E project to DVD and although it appears to have created the DVD successfully, for some reason it stops half way through on my DVD player. Not sure why so how have a new problem to conquer. Thanks again for your kind efforts. Sorry for wasting your time. Regards, John
