yhooth

Thanks for the info Lin. I installed version 5.6 beta 20 and the problem has disappeared. It all runs smoothly in the full screen Mini Player, Preview and exe with no changes to the images or the slideshow - other than a recompile of the exe. Ta, Yaz

I just installed the PTX 5.5 trial version. I have 10 slides ranging in size from 200k to 2m with various transitions and animations and background music. This is running on XP with a 1.8G cpu, 1G mem and GF4 Ti4200 card with 64m. I realize that this is a minimal configuration. The slideshow runs smoothly and perfectly in the miniplayer - even at full screen mode - but is jerky and rarely completes using the Preview mode or the exe. My guess is that the different modes use the hardware differently. Thoughts? Thanks, Yaz
