H Dave Thanks for your prompt reply to my post. The EXE when played had 1 blip, many more appear wehn you play the DVD on the TV. Pixels dim of images are max 500 x 542 for square images, 500 x 389 of landscape and 379 x 500 for portrait, orientations most are 4:3 except the squares With music off and it still blips when playing the EXE Computer has 3GB RAM Windows XP, but sorry not sure about the graphics/video cards On the previous verison 6 things worked smoothly has there been a big change in "something" with the latest version? Thanks Martin
