Hi Yachtsman1, All I want to say is that you can check via the registry editor if the registration key has been installed correctly or not. What the program does (in any case), I do not know. If the key is included correctly, it should work! I indicated the position, where the key is stored. Warning: Once you have found it, do not publish it, as everybody who will see it will be in the position to (mis)use it. A screenshot typically will no show the whole key, but be careful anyway. What you did, you looked at the entries "PicturesToExe" and "PicturesToExe_RegType". Four resp. three positions below you see (as your images show) the entry "PTE". This one contains the registration key (Again: Do not publish!!!). You may look at your friend's PC and check if the registry contains the said entry. If it is there, and the program does not work, you should ask the service! Best regards Xaver

Hi Yachtsman1, You may look what's in the registry. Open the Run window, type "regedit", click ok. Do not make any changes in the Registry Editor! Follow the path: My Computer\ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PTE. Inside the key "PTE" you should find the following entry: Name: Key, Type: REG_SZ, Data: *****the license key*******. Best regards, Xaver

Thank you Colin for the explanation, Deliberately provocative, this may be true for some of my contributions, but (hopefully) not to be regarded as malicious. Best regards, Xaver

Good idea, I'm looking forward to read and learn. Best regards, Xaver

David, I guess that "AV group" here denotes the group of photographers who make audio visual productions, and who are organized, e.g. (in the UK) via a membership in particular groups within the Royal Photographic Society. Best regards, Xaver H. Munich

Ian, I hope that you do not give up. PTE uses a particular fullscreen mode which provides best performance. In this mode, under Win XP, the ATI drivers ignore the color profiles. With the actual version you may try a windowed mode (Project Options > Screen > Screen Options), and see if problem vanishes. As far as I know, the new version 5.6 (announced for the very near future) will provide a solution. Best regards, Xaver H. Munich

Ian, please give us some information on your PC (Operating System (XP or Vista), Type of graphics card, ...) Best regards, Xaver H. Munich

Do you consider this as a disadvantage? Best regards, Xaver Munich

Ken, You really seem to be intractable (please correct me if this expression does not hit the point), but your arguments cannot convince me. The Oktoberfest, similar to many other things posted here, has nothing to do with PTE. I just mentioned it as a typical example which should be avoided. By the way, I do not like this Munich event very much, and I'll be very happy when all the drunken visitors will be at home again. Regards, Xaver

Ich würde mich an dieser Stelle sehr freuen, wenn Sie sich etwas klarer und für einen deutschen Benutzer verständlicher ausdrücken würden. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Xaver Huber, Müchen Oberbayern Deutschland

Ken, Although the expression “to stir the pot” does not belong to my restricted vocabulary, I am rather convinced to know what you mean (by the way, you are a typical representative of those users who normally do not care very much for others not being native English speakers). If it is a problem to open an appropriate section for all odds and ends, we have to live with the situation as it is. What I do not like are situations where people try to brush things under the carpet. Regards, Xaver Munich By the way: The Munich Oktoberfest 2008 just has started. In which forum shall I make an announcement?

Slide show created with PTE? It seems to be difficult to assign off-topic posts in this forum! Why? Regards, Xaver

Hello Ken, Let me remind you of the necessity of an OFF-TOPIC section Best regards, Xaver

Tom, I don't think that this is a question of being nice or not, and I can't believe that Ken feels hurt by my contributions where I avoid personal aspects and try to be clinical. Merging threads has not only the disadvantage that there is a change of title, but (even worse) the flow of the discussion will be destroyed. Best regards, Xaver Kind regards to Ken

If it had not been my opinion I would not have posted it! The threads in question were related but not duplicate. Best regards, Xaver

See for example the sections "Criticisms" and "Kritik" in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail and http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail. Best regards, Xaver

Who uses Gmail? Not a good decision with respect to privacy! Best regards, Xaver

If you do not change one title, then the other one will be changed. All in all, not a good idea to merge threads! Best regards, Xaver

Open the pte-file (or a copy of it) with a text editor (notepad, UltraEdit, emacs, ...), and search for "mp3". Your should be able to read the slide numbers, and you should find the path names, as well. Regards, Xaver Munich

Congratulations Tom, You've won the match! Best regards, Xaver

Tom, You can generate a Bitmap of size 32x32. Open the image with IrfanView and decrease the color depth to 256 (image menu, this can also be done in Photoshop). Then save this bitmap with IrfanView in *.ico format. Assign icon in PTE via Project options > Main. Best regards, Xaver Munich

Peter, I would like to see you as a moderator of this forum! Regarding this thread, I do not see any knee jerk reactions. A particular member has used some words which others did not consider as being appropriate, that's all; and there will always be discussions if off-topic subjects should be placed somewhere else, or if it is useful that some members offer their products/tutorials/templates again and again. In April this year I made an experience having quite a different "quality", where somebody tried to shift me into a particular political corner. Best regards, Xaver

Ken, I totally agree, and even experienced users feed or even initiate these off-topic threads. Let me again propose to open an off-topic part of the forum where all these repeated SP3 discussions and similar ones could be moved. Best regards, Xaver

Hello Anthony, Do you really expect a response? I consider my question (more or less) as rhetorical in nature. Best regards, Xaver
