e.b.west Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 I'm trying to solve a problem by using a file I created on one computer on different computer.I create the show and save it as a pte file. I then copy it to a thumb drive and try to open it with the second computer (both running 6.0.1). All I get on the second computer is all the slides referring to the drive where the pictures are on the first computer. How do I copy a pte file, which includes the pictures, so I can open it to work on another computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I copy a pte file, which includes the pictures, so I can open it to work on another computer?The .PTE file - usually project(n).pte - is not the show program. It is a 'template' or list of instructions as to how PTE puts the show together from the images and sound tracks. PTE files do not contain any images or sound tracks, and will not run as a program.When you create a slide show, the resultant program is an .exe file, just like any other executable file, and it will run on almost any Windows machine from a thumb drive or memory stick.If you have created a file from your show, you will have an .exe file somewhere which is your show program. BTW, previewing the show does not create an .exe file. The 'Create' button does make the .exe file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRR Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Use the CREATE BACK-UP IN ZIP under FILEand move the zip to the other computer and then you should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fh1805 Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 To transfer a PTE sequence from one computer to another, so that you can work on it on the second PC, you should use "File...Create Backup in Zip". Then copy the zip to the USB memory stick, and finally extract the zip contents to a new folder on the second PC.regards,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
