Cavefolk Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi, I've been enjoying PicturesToExe for a few years now. I'm using v4.20 now and doing great with it. However, some of my slide shows created with older versions of the programs won't work. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, have you found a solution? What can I do to run or upgrade my old shows? Have I done something wrong?Hope someone can help. Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Techman1 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Cavefolk,Welcome to the forum. Are you getting this error when you try to run the old executable (the .exe file) or when you try to bring the old PTE slideshow (the .pte file) into PTE? Please tell us as much as you can about the problem so that we can try to assist you.Thanks and I know this can get resolved. There are many people on this forum that are willing and able to solve many different problems.Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavefolk Posted May 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 This problem occurs when I just try to run a slideshow, for instance "MyShow.exe". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavefolk Posted May 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 The problem is, the graphics I used for the old slideshows are now in different locations. I would have to go back into the text file for the slideshows and change the file paths. I'll do that if I have to, but it'll be a bit time consuming. But...Why is this happening? You wouldn't think it would. I'd understood that an .exe file was a stand-alone application. If it's self-contained, I'd think it would run.Could I have something wrong on my PC, I'm wondering? Could a necessary file have gotten deleted from my system? Any ideas for me? I sure appreciate your help. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmanz Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 when you say the slideshow "won't work" are you getting an error?does the slideshow start to run?what message are you getting when you try to run the slideshow.In older versions. If you used an MP3 music and the computeryou were trying to watch the slideshow on did not have an MP3 player.the slideshow would not run. It would just hang on the first slide.

LumenLux Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 How about trying the shows on other computers within your reach? You could also email a sample show to some one here. I, or others would be glad to give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
