a99iegal Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Recently some of my buttons stopped working. I have them placed to "open a file" or to "go to the first slide" or to "exit", and they are not functioning at all. I've tried the standard button option that comes with the program and changed the properties. I've tried my own pictures that I designed as button and programmed them. Nothing. I'm really needing this function to work, and it's becoming critical to my presentations. Can ANYONE PLEASE give me some guidance on why this is not working on some buttons or why it would stop working altogether? I need some major help. Oh, yeah, I also downloaded the newest version and the same thing happens. Not realy sure why.nicole@thetarvers.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guru Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Does your show have a synchronized music? In this case, verify that in "Project Options" > "Main" you has checked "Permit the control of show" (near "Customize synchronization" button).

a99iegal Posted March 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 No, my shows don't have synchronized with music check as an option, but good tip, I'll check on that one. Any other ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guru Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Nicole (hope this is the right name - I feel embarrassed to call you "a99iegal"!),this issue is very unusual. I just made buttons with links (in Object Editor), and all works correctly in 4.20 as well as in previous PTE versions, using two different machines.Try to uninstall completely PTE, and reinstall v4.20. But if you have templates saved in "Templates" folder (look at C:\Program Files\PicturesToExe\Templates) save them in another location before unistalling!P.S. - Nicole, never write your e-mail address so clearly. The web is full of spiders that look for "@" character, and capture all addresses they can find to send you spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 NicoleWelcome to the Forum!Buttons and other links suddenly not functioning can indicate that the links themselves have moved or changed name. I had this happen to me just this week when the file to which I was trying to link was in a different directory. In this case, you won't get an error message - simply, nothing will happen. Check your links very carefully to ensure that the files are where you think they are, and that the file names match exactly the names being used in PTE.

Guest guru Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 A very good suggestion, Al! It's true, this can be the reason of Nicole's problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a99iegal Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Great thanks for the advice on all levels. I thought I had checked that, but you know it never hurts to try, try again...and maybe i was being careless. Thanks for the replies. This has been more helpful than the "technical support" e-mail I got.Nicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
